Kevin: I heard he’s looked “disinterested.” Same difference more or less. They’ve got him listed 2nd, but might be more of a “ploy” to keep folks interested.
His problem was lack of trust from DNabb fighting for the ball.
I agree with you, though, get whatever we can get! Ran into his roommate from college, said he was hurt more than he was letting on last year. Who knows if it’s exactly true, but he may just need to move on.

Jackal,
We already did the Ravens a solid – we took TO back in 04 before they could get him. Probably saved RayRay another murder trial.
Opie,
Your source is giving you old news – Reggie looked great early in camp, but according to today’s Daily News, he’s regressed since then. I say they get what they can for him, since he’ll probably be cut anyway.

bednarik60: just sometimes?!?
I’ve been having a running conversation w/another writer regarding this situation. He’s been at the practices and says that Brown has looked good. We came up with these two destinations a week ago, not that I scooped anyone, but we also thru in the Rams.
Really comes down to whether we can get a 4th or 5th (or more) for Brown and they have to create some sort of element of multiple teams bidding on him to get that. Gibson is the one that is causing the issue w/his efforts. Kid is playing strong.
Brown is 2nd on the depth chart behind Jackson, and not 6th, but ahead of Avant.
If I’m Baskett or Avant, I’m a little worried.

All you “cut Hank Baskett folks”… they aren’t going to get rid of him because he’s the only tall WR and showed last year he’s our best option for the end zone fade. The LAST thing the eagles want to do is take away options in the red zone.
Also…I think Andy want Kendra around.

let me see if i can help out.
The DPR: Reggie is in the doghouse because he stinks. Yes, stinks. He can only catch a ball that is thrown in his hands. The guy does not make route adjustments or come back to the ball and is not willing to fight for a ball. Reggie is in McNabb’s doghouse. If I was a qb, I would not throw to a guy who will stand there while a db goes after the ball. Only reason he is on this team is because of the dead money that will be incurred if they cut him. no way anyone takes him on with that salary.
surefooted: If Reggie Brown is a good number 2 then your WRs are terrible. Hank Basket is better and I do not think it is even close.

Ravens seems the most likely bet, given the Harbaugh connection. Knowing that, he’d want a known quantity in Brown, Baskett or Curtis.

Reggie Brown is not a #1 and we all know that. However, he’s a pretty decent #2 and an outstanding #3 reciever. He is 1000x better than Hank Baskett. Hank is my pick to be cut/traded.

I like Reggie Brown. He somehow got into Reid’s doghouse and it’s near impossible to get out of. Now he’s in a numbers game that he can’t win unless someone gets hurt, and soon.
But the Eagles probably want too much for him.

Reggie’s not a bad WR, he has all the skills he just hasn’t been able to put it all together. Well, okay, he has MOST of the skills. He does need to learn how to catch better.
Maybe getting him in another uniform will change his luck.
Hell, don’t we owe a solid to the Ravens? I mean, they took L.J. “groin pull” Smith from us.

How long before Baskett stuffs Kendra in a suitcase??

Reggie has talent, he can play but for some reason he can’t see the field.
I like hanks hussle, maclin, djack, curtis and avant are off limits. Unless the get a 3rd round for brown, keep him around incase of injury

Don’t worry bednarik, they are the same knuckleheads that boo McNabb. They don’t actually pay attention to whats going on, they just keep throwing around the same uninformed nonsense they heard on ESPN three years ago.
The good news is they are the small minority…

Sometimes the fan base for my own team embarrasses me.

bye bye Reggie Brown…..
Hopefully, this will cause Marty and Andy to start using Baskett’s size for fade routes instead of blocking…
time will tell!!

I’m a Birds fan and even this puzzles me. After the starters (Jackson, Curtis and Avant), the rest are waiver wire junk at best (outside of Maclin who will be special teams and the occasional WR4).
Here’s to getting some compensation for our junk!!!! Come get it boys!

reggie brown, kevin curtis, hank baskett, and brandon gibson……one will not make the team. three will
my vote is to cut hank baskett, you’ve seen what he has…..he’s hit the plateau….brandon gibson is a very solid talent that can contribute on this team. brown is finally healthy.

I heard a report that they were also thinking of getting Freddie Mitchell. Oh wait, that report came from Freddie Mitchell.
