Reggie Brown would be a nice addition, if it happens. He's turning 29 soon even though he just got drafted a few years ago. Solid backup i guess, he could compete with Kelley to be our 4th receiver. And who knows when Clayton's gonna be back.

I'm kinda of a Reggie Brown fan. He can really stretch the field. Doesn't get much attention because the Eagles spread the ball when it comes to WRs. In his 5 seasons. He has had a catch of 40+ or longer in each. Four of them TD catches.

[reediddy]

Former 1st rd draft pick I believe...good addition, could maybe supplant Clayton as our 2nd receiver. I think he would greatly bolster our passing offense

Close...2nd Round (3rd Pick)

[Purple Pain]

He is ok. I would take him depending on the asking price.

ahhh haha ok thanks for the clarification

[52Kia Kaha92]

no thanks, id rather sign a guy than have his sorry ****** on the team

if we can choose an eagles WR i want it to be Brandon Gibson

[WinnipegRaven]

Oh come on - not DeShaun Jackson?

[Sub-Zero]

yeah I'd definitely take him, the Eagles are loaded at WR now especially if Jeremy Maclin turns out to be anything to they hope him to be. Brown's been pretty productive till DeSean came along and took his reps plus its nice to have a receiver over 6 feet tall for a change

watch out NFL, last year we introduced you to Flacco and Rice, which could now be Flacco and Brown Rice

[J-man]

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. There is no way that the Eagles will keep all their receivers after they selected Maclin. I wasn't sure if it would be Reggie Brown or Jason Avant, but it makes perfect sense.

[52Kia Kaha92]

if there is a chance we can get Avant we should do it, that guy is a monster on third down
just ask the giants lol

[Purple Pain]

I wonder if they would trade Kevin Curtis he has some speed to him.

too many injury problems

[justifythegame]

Curtis was injured just one year. You must be thinking about Donte Stallworths injury plagued run in philly. Curtis isn't a #1 reciever, but he is borderline because of his speed. Arguable like Derrick Mason. But other than one season, i havent heard Curtis having injury problems, even in St. louis.

Reggie Brown is a bust, he is just not a very good player. I wouldn't even put him at #3. Since Smith in on IR I can understand adding him for depth, but i wouldn't consider him much more than a slight upgrade over Figurs. I've really watched the guy for the last couple years in philly because he was supposed to be the guy after T.O, and he was just terrible - and if he ever did look good in any game, its because McNabb bought time a made a play [i]making[/i] him look good. Why wouldn't we try to get matt jones, reggie williams, marvin harrison... those guys would have much more potential to make a play or two than brown... maybe because harbs came from philly?

[Wacko4Zacko]

So what exactly would we trade in return? I certainly hope it wouldn't be a 1st round pick that for sure.

No need to trade, that's the point, the Eagles might drop one of these guys.

[mhead66]

Brown only had 3 games last year, with more than one catch. However, he had 61-780-4 in 2007, and 46-816-8 in '06, a 18 yd/catch average.

He may not be a #1, but he's worth a 4th round pick, or so...

[Alexir]

I figured we would definitely look Philly's way with all the WRs they have. I think it would be a good pick up but then again I feel Kelley and Justin are doing great ....but this could help us due to the fact Mason will most likely retire after winning the SB this year.

If Wes Welker is infact a FA next year we better jump on him too. I love that dude even if Ed Reed did take his head off.

Matt and Reggie are battling legal issues, no thank you! plus neither one has lived up to the hype and they are pretty much on the same level of Reggie Brown. Marvin Harrison sounds like a better option but it seems like every team is avoiding him, something is not right with him..

[tweety]

Reggie Brown or Reggie Williams?

Last year he was sidelined early for a hammy injury. And then DeSean Jackson went off and took his place. He played in 10 games last year, but the Eagles where spreading the ball around so much.

But yea, he had pretty good seasons in 2006 and 2007

If you're asking who we'd rather have, I'd take Williams over Brown in a heartbeat.

No I think he was replying to the poster that said that Reggie Brown had some legal issues. He was asking the poster if he got Brown mixed up with Williams.

Ah, okay. Seemed like a no brainer to me, should have known something was up. I blame it on my South Western education

[theFRANCHISE]

Living in Eagles country, I've seen Reggie Brown on a semi-regular basis and he's never really popped out at me. Sure, his numbers are decent, but he's been too inconsistent. He may have a three-or-four game stretch of decent games, but then he'll go another five or six games without producing much.

If the Ravens are willing to take on a project, Jason Avant might be the way to go instead.

We really don't have a choice in the matter. We'll be looking at whoever the eagles decide to cut unless we want to trade for the guy we want that doesn't get cut.

[/quote]

4th or 5th round pick might get it done. Depending on how desperate they are to move him, it might be less then that. I dont know a lot about the Eagles needs but we've got some pretty deep depth at some positions. I wouldnt be surprised to see a player and a pick go. I cant remember where I read it but someone suggested that the Ravens may start shopping some of the young LB's we have to add depth in other areas, since we are so stacked as it is.

[Ed_Reed_Pick_Six]

I also rate Reggie Brown - very handy receiver. Adding him would really help our depth; he's well-rounded and brings further experience to the receiving corps.

[Runnin Raven]

Eagle have needs at linebacker, where we have an "embarrassment of riches". I could see a LB/Brown trade happening.

All that said, I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Brown would be over, say, Justin Harper.

[BloodRaven]

Ravens LBs have a history of underperforming on other teams.
