Re: Troy Brown

Still no word and only 10 minutes to go. I keep refreshing Reiss' blog expecting news. He has a good analysis up now, though. He seems to think the likely thing would be swaping out Kareem Brown for Troy.

It's really a question, at this point, of "What can Brown do for you?" (I'm sorry, I had to.)

Beat you to it, Dave!

Re: Troy Brown

The patronizing dots at the end are lovely.

I knew that was a the case for IR, but being this a different situation I wondered, since he's not actually injured.

They're not patronizing......they exist because a post of less than ten characters is not accepted. If you'd like, pretend it says Yes!!!!!!!!, or Yes, Troy Brown gets a ring. Or Yessssssssss or Yes (10 characters).

Who does and doesn't get a ring is entirely up to Mr. Kraft. There's no league mandate.

Someone needs to release this info! I'm tired of waiting for the news!!

I'm sure after Belichick hears this, he'll release info, post haste!

A message won't post unless it is at least 10 characters long, so people often add a string of dots to the end of a "yes" or "no" or "ditto" post to meet the 10 character requirement.

If he wanted to be patronizing he probably would have put one of these at the end of his message

I'm use to just seeing the ol' (10 Characters) but I've now learned from this experience.

I'm staying later at work so I don't miss the news, i'm gonna have to draw the line somewhere though! let's get this info out!!!

 

[nhpatsfan]

I'm watching patriots.com for info - anywhere else that might have it faster?

 

[PantsB]

WEEI's Big Show say a press release is "imminent".

I'm hedging my bets on Reiss' Blog. http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/

Maybe they're waiting for the Redskin's live broadcast to be over?

I hope not. It wouldn't exactly be A-Rod negotiating his contract at the World Series. LOL

 

[BadMoFo]

I guess the local media doesn't have good inside sources. The decision is probably already official.

So either Troy gets cut or Kareem Brown gets sent to the practice squad? It's really up to BB, but I haven't seen Troy play many snaps lately.
Wouldn't it be easier to cut Troy and then resign him later in the year if WR depth becomes an issue?

 

[JustWinBrady]

Reiss speculated Kareem Brown to the practice squad to make room for Troy.

He'll need to be waived first before being place on the practice squad. He most likely will be claimed.

 

[BadMoFo]

I really doubt he would get cut. If we did that, it would be more material for the Pats haters.

What makes you think that? He's not exactly a hot prospect or proven veteran?

Irrelevant.
