Lesser known deep threat

Cardinals | Jaron Brown not expected back
Wed, 31 Jan 2018 10:50:55 -0800

Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent WR Jaron Brown (knee) is not expected to be re-signed. Arizona sports radio host Mike Jurecki believes Brown is due for a big payday assuming he hits the market.

Brown has been overshadowed by Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown in his time in Arizona. He is coming off a career year, though, tallying 477 yards and four touchdowns. He's not much more than a deep threat, but he has shown he can be fantasy relevant. He could be much more relevant on the right team.

If he really is due a "big payday" it probably won't come from us, but he's not as well known as some others so it's hard to say.

Brown is 6'2, 205.

I brought Jaron Brown up in a different thread but I was bringing him up thinking that he would be a value pick up. If he is "due for a big pay day", then I'm not interested at all.

I think he has potential to be a very good #2. We have Funchess who also is/has the potential to be a very good #2 WR. Having two very good #2 type receivers would still be the best group of WRs that we have had in a long time. Even though they call him a deep threat, I don't really see him as a stright-line burner. He doesn't have Ginn type speed but also probably has better hands, better ability to find the ball, and runs better routes.

Not now, but in that one summer. Ridiculous contracts and now people don’t get those anymore unless they are the studs. That was solely due to the salary cap jumping huge for two years.

Yeah, I remember that. Some pretty mediocre players were getting max deals. Well, mediocre is being harsh, but definitely not the type of guys who historically get max deals that's for sure.

    • I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
    • Should get plenty of push up the middle with Derrick, Ashawn and Bobby B. That makes an Edge's job much easier since QB's don't have a pocket to step up in. Couple that with a few A gap blitzes with LBs and Safeties, and QBs should be flushed out like Duck Hunt.
