Though no one wanted to trade for a contract that paid veteran defensive end Alex Brown more than $10 million over the next two years, several teams apparently are interested in getting him at a lower rate.

Per a league source, Brown launches his free-agency tour on Tuesday. He has another visit lined up as well.

Unfortunately, we don't yet have the names of the teams. But we're working on it.

Brown was cut by the Bears last week after they could find no takers via trade.

I hope Charlotte is the first stop, but I doubt it

Two things that are very interesting about this situation...1) Marty hurney pretty much said earlier this offseason that another name/person would be added at some point. Not sure if he meant anyone specific but I think brown would be a no brainer for the FO...he would immediately solidify our DE rotation and free us up to pick a DT or WR.

2) with brayton and Johnson penciled in at the left defensive end spot it would seem that brown and brown would be battling for the right end spot. Who would win such a battle? And could we handle two brown's at the same position?

I don't get why so many of you are salivating for Brown. Getting him will stunt the growth of our young guns Johnson and Brown, and push Taylor to the 5th spot again when he has looked very good on pass downs, and has even held his own on run plays. We need help at DT more. But I think we have 3 solid guys there plus Irvin.

Anyway, Johnson and Brown have the potential to be stars. Let them prove that they aren't. For the record though I would like a 3rd DE but not Brown since he would want a starting spot plus he isn't really spectacular. It is kind of a chemistry thing.

I disagree with this post entirely. If you just give a job to a guy without making him earn it, where is the extra motivation? and how does that make the team better? Any one of these guys could go down with an injury during the season and if we needed another guy to step in I'd rather it be a guy like Alex Brown with a decent career underneath him. I think he could be brought in as part of a rotation (we know how Fox loves to rotate his linemen) and make the DL better. He's a versatile player, a good locker room guy, and is good for around 6 sacks a season. Sign him up.

Love it or hate it, he isn't going to get signed by us. We have been saying time for the young core to step up all off-season, and the position were the have two young beast in the waiting, we are going to go and sign to old guys Brayton AND Brown to hold them back? Expect maybe a value DE or a DT that the staff is high on in the draft, but Brown really isn't coming

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      339. WR Moose Muhammad III, Texas A&M Muhammad, the son of former NFL wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad II, is adept at using his body to keep coverage defenders away from the ball. He generated a 119.8 passer rating when targeted in 2024, ranking 25th in the draft class. 255. WR Kobe Hudson, UCF Hudson brings point guard-like movement to the receiver position and makes for a fun watch due to his short-area quickness. But his limited long speed and questionable catch rate likely make him a mid-round projection. 183. DI Jared Harrison-Hunte, SMU Harrison-Hunte is an intriguing prospect to develop, considering he has the frame to fill out and flashes very good athleticism (4.86-second 40-yard dash, 1.69-second 10-yard split). He needs to improve his pad level, but he uses his athleticism effectively to defeat blocks at the line of scrimmage, posting 44 pressures with eight sacks in 2024. 171. G Luke Kandra, Cincinnati Kandra's athleticism and measured approach to the game give him the floor of a solid zone scheme backup and an average starter's ceiling. The end result will depend on his ability to play with better pad level and flexibility.
