Filed to ESPN: Philadelphia traded wide receiver Reggie Brown to Tampa Bay for the Buccaneers sixth-round pick in 2011.
The Eagles are making moves ... finally got somebody to eat that salary. I guess by re-signing Avant for 5 years, they pretty much let Brown know he's got no future here.
We got a Sixth-rounder, eh? Maybe we can draft the next Brandon Gibson with it? Maybe? Maybe?

too bad it wasn't curtis
not too heartbroken considering we saved money from reggie. But now who we looking to pay, who we looking to get?
curtis will go soon enough
child please

I feel kinda bad taking a 6th rounder. I would have offered our 6th to just take him from us.

Honestly, I can’t say I saw this coming. I’m a little emotional! :-) Hopefully he does have a successful career in TB though!

kevin curtis salary
this is off rotoworld.com 3/15/2007: Signed a six-year, $32 million contract. The deal contains $9.5 million guaranteed, including a $2.5 million signing bonus and a $1.5 million roster bonus in the second year. Roughly $3 million is available in likely-to-be-earned incentives based on receptions. The contract contains an annual Pro Bowl escalator of $200,000. 2009: $1.9 million, 2010: $3.4 million (+ $1 million roster bonus due in 6/1), 2011: $4 million, 2012: $6 million, 2013: Free Agent
wow
time to restructure, trade or cut him. No way he should be making 4.4 million this year. I like Curtis, when he is on the field. But he has not done anything to warrant the amount he is scheduled to make this year.

I hope they cut Curtis, bring back Hank Baskett, and spend a late pick on someone whose stock fell.

LOL baskett will never be the same...
he lost a SB.

Hahaha… In my head, I read the headline “Eagles throw 5-year extension to wide receiver Brown, Falls Incomplete.”

Alot, he had a big time contract.

I know
it was like 27 mill for 5 years back in 2006 right? Just wondering how much of that we ended up swallowing before finally being able to dump him. 10 mill? 12 mill?
For the Love of the Game
Not a lot of savings
But for a guy who was a 4th-5th WR, his contract was out of whack. Eagles saved about $2.5M if they had just cut him.
They didn’t save anything over just cutting him. They just got a sixth-rounder for next year. If they had cut him, they would still be responsible for the bonus money they’re paying him.
I am the people's troll :3™
They saved more
If you take what his cap value was the next 2 years vs. just cutting him outright this offseason. #6 round pick is marginal value at best.
Given the likliehood his replacment will be cheaper
Yeah they likely are going to save money. That was my point and sorry for the confusion.
Sweeet!
Just got the text from PE.com. I’m surprised we got any kind of value for him, his contract is pretty terrible. Hopefully we can find another WR who slips in the draft like Gibson did.
whose next to be cut...
Kevin Curtis and Darren Howard please. But I don’t think we should cut Curtis (or attempt to trade), until we get 1 more VET at WR.
Howard doesn't need to be cut
just restructured. he has a lot of value for what we use him for. Just his contract is out of whack with his role.

I agree with that I guess
the only reason I’d figured him on the cut list is because of what he was making. But he has to be near the tail end of that deal, and he does seem to do fine when he plays. He’s not dynamic, but he doesn’t suck.

Bryant and T.O....
simultaneously will be in Cinci tomorrow; whomever Cinci takes….we need to jump on the other one.
No.
One already was with us, other one is a lazy loser who only show up once every five season.

Keep what we have and draft someone in the 6th round or something along those lines.
Seriously, our receiving corp is fine. Jackson-Maclin-Avant-Celek. Deadly.

Tampa Bay
now has Reggie Brown and Michael Clayton, who have had two of the most promising starts to a wide receiver’s career that ultimately amounts to nothing.
At least Javon Walker had injury to blame.

Hey guys- Buc fanatic here,
Why did reggie fall out of Grace- his contract- What happened?
Continuing head of the Eric Berry and Puffy Rod bandwagon.
New head of the Matthew Barnaby Bandwagon!!!
Basically he had a great rookie year, and has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency ever since. The past two years, he’s been penciled in as a starter, gotten injured in camp, and lost his job to a younger guy. He has good physical tools when healthy, and could certainly benefit from a change of scenery. In other words, he could be very good, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
by zfg on Mar 8, 2010 9:45 PM EST up reply actions
edit: he had a great second year and a decent third year and showed tons of promise.
They call me The Professor.
yeah, good deal for both sides
Bucs get a veteran WR with 4-5 years of solid production left in the tank (hopefully) and we get a 6th round pick, i think both sides can be happy.
And I can’t root against the Bucs unless we’re playing them, they’re my grandpa’s favorite team, haha.

reggie
reggie is a good wr .. mcnabb doesnt like him and wont throw to him .. he will be 800-1000 yards for u next year .. u just stole him
by jack is better than asante on Mar 8, 2010 9:32 PM EST reply actions
I actually agree with you, to a certain extent
I think 1,000 yards receiving is a bit high, but I honestly think Brown can put up 800 yards receiving in the right situation.
Sometimes it's just fun to take the family for a spin around the lake in the old boat. Even if it's not your family or your boat, and they're screaming for you to stop.

You mean like he did as a rookie?
Anyway, who knows if he still has it in him. He could be a steal for you guys. He definitely wasn’t going to accomplish anything here with his attitude, though. That will likely change now that he has a chance to contribute. He’s gotta be stoked for that.
I am the people's troll :3™
"you guys"? I'm an Eagles fan my man!

Just a reminder
Reggie Brown is the one who threw his helmet into Stewart Bradley’s knee on an end around in training camp. Reggie Brown was the one who ruined our season before it even began. Reggie Brown is the reason why Brandon Gibson is in St. Louis now.
Thanks Reggie. Thanks for everything.
Another reminder
Thanks to Reggie, Jeremiah Trotter had to tackle Zach Miller instead of Stewart Bradley, which ultimately resulted in a score and an Eagles loss. If it wasn’t for Reggie, we would have clinched the NFC East and #2 seed in week 16.
Share your favorite Reggie memories here.
My favorite Reggie moment was the one where he was open 15 yards down the field and dropped the pass. Remember that time Reggie Brown tried to run down the sidelines and had no separation from his defender? Good times.
my favorite it when he ran to the one yard line and caught the ball as time expired instead of running into the endzone before making his cut.
God, don't remind me of that
That was a heartbreaking loss. We had control of our own destiny and blew it against the Skins. Thankfully, it eventually led to 44-6 ass-whooping of the Boys a week later.

ohh… good times reminiscing about ol’ reggie
by notfromphilly on Mar 8, 2010 10:21 PM EST up reply actions
agreed JMAC/DJAX/Avant are fine as our top 3
but you need at least 2 more behind him for depth….and right now, all we have is Injury-prone Kevin Curtis
Well if they're only for "Depth"
What’s the rush? You can find depth guys anywhere.
I bet Curtis could stay if he’d restructure. And would pass a physical.
Otherwise he’s meat.

a 2011 6th..
wow…that’s pretty shitty…that’s bout a low as compensation they could have gotten, outside of a 2012 7th. Even G-Lew got us a 5th last year.
"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team," said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It's not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they've ever asked of me. That'd be all those times they asked me to go kill myself."

Meh
It’s shitty but I’ll take what we can get for Reggie. At least it gives us more draft picks to play around with in this year’s draft.

WTF
I am not going to praise Reggie Brown but people are acting like the Eagles got rid of one of the worst contracts in the NFL or traded away some horrible malcontent.
Brown was one of the few younger players that the Eagles have locked up the last several years who didn’t really pan out. He is certainly overpaid for a backup WR but this isn’t one of the best-paid WRs in the league either. He also wasn’t a guy who ran his mouth or was a problem in the locker room. If anything, he supposedly started to actually ‘get it’ the past year or so by showing up to practice, doing what the coaches wanted, and generally displaying a solid effort.
He had a shitty attitude and didn’t try to hide it. Then he seemed ungrateful he wasn’t handed playing time after he didn’t play very well.
I am the people's troll :3™
That changed
He did have that shitty attitude through the ’08 season and got buried as a result. Really fell off the depth chart. That supposedly changed a bit last year and Reid moved him up the depth chart as a result.
He was a little disappointed I remember in training camp at not having a real opportunity to compete for a top spot but not everywhere near what he was in ’08.
True
Brown was one of the few younger players that the Eagles have locked up the last several years who didn’t really pan out.
I guess the jury is still out on Shawn Andrews, but otherwise that’s been a great strategy for the Iggles.
