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 read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
