Patriots Player Departure Trent Brown to Cincy 1YR

[sb1]

Beast when he’s motivated. A little surprised he didn’t give the new regime a shot at signing him.

We could do so much better: breathe Biscuit breathe lamb to the slaughter.

We losing the off-season Super Bowl !

It's a gamble but if it pays off for the Bungles and they have a motivated Brown the Bengals will be a team to watch in the AFC

It will be funny to read the coming stream of posts yelling at the FO for not resigning him. Ironic since most of those posters are the same mooks who slammed him relentlessly just a few months ago.

The truth is that one of the biggest musts of this rebuild is to acquire players who are 100% all in. As good as Trent CAN be, when he wants to, he is completely unreliable. I bet the contract will be under $10MM AV with lots of playing time incentives, so it will be a low risk signing to hope they get his best for at least one season.

Yeah, maybe worth checking in now and then and see how he does with the Bengals.

@JackBauer is he below really you?? I would have never guessed.

Trent Brown is better than Jonah Williams who signed for a boat load good thing K Murray can run. Burrow will be protected can't say the same about the Patriots QB.

There’s a notable lack of contract details, even more than three hours later. When the money is good, you generally hear that within minutes.

You're slow Jack.

He was pretty rough on NE in his comments…def was never a fit to return.

Next month T. Brown turns 31 years old and he is still signing and playing on “Prove-It” contracts at this stage of his career. Shows two things: 1) he didn’t “prove it” with last years contract despite his PFF grading 2) he simply plays when he wants to and if he doesn’t change this year then he won’t have to worry about anymore “Prove-It” contracts…

This post gets an A+ for the use of "mooks."

You're slow Jack.

Because I was confused by your illiterate post? OK.

I wouldn’t draft Joe Burrow in a fantasy football league.

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Will he drive them crazy like he did in New England?

A one year deal. Apparently Cincy did their homework on our man Trent's (ahem) 'compete level'
