Everette Brown Waived!

[Lumps]

Too bad, he has the drive. He needs to learn a new position.

[SOJA]

[Kevin Greene]

This sends a good message to the entire roster.

Perform or gtfo.

i think i said i thought e brown would get cut....not that it was a shocker

[SCP]

How did this go down?

Rivera: What the hell were you thinking Marty?

Marty: *crickets*

Same thing could happen with Armanti.

[Hairless Cat]

Hurney must have come to an agreement with someone

[SCP]

We have too many undersized players. Keep cutting.

we just waived Brown? wow what a waste of a 1st rounder.

Yes, but would you rather keep a liability that was a former first-rounder, or get a contributor that wasn't a high investment. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. He was dead weight for this team. Every team makes mistakes- better to acknowledge them than to bury your head in the sand. Cutting him acknowledges our mistake and allows us to improve.

Smells like olshansky to me. A brayton type body that can play run de, pass dt.

I'd rather trade him and get something for him. Or include him in a trade.

We need to act now. There are better options available in the cut players around the league, imho. Plus, what could we realistically get for him- I doubt much of anything.

Brown never really developed into the player that the Panthers thought that they were getting based on his college tape. Personnel sources said that his lack of pass rush moves and size contributed to his struggles at the NFL level. But the talented defender clearly is capable of producing good sack numbers with further development with a coaching staff is willing to take a chance on him.

Brown, 24, will be subject to the waiver process since he’s not a vested veteran.

Brown has two years left on his contract and is set to earn $535,000 in base salary this season.

The Panthers gave up their first-round selection in the 2010 draft in order to select Brown.

I think this means they already know who his replacement is.

You would not cut him at this point without already having an agreement all but finalized.
