Bucs Acquire WR Reggie Brown

[kjbugman]

this is GOOD for us.  maybe he isnt a top tier reciever, but he IS pretty good. Marred by injuries the past two seasons, but honestly, i think i would give up a 2011 6th round pick for anybody that can score more then one touchdown, lol. LOW risk, Medium reward.

[BucsMagic64]

I'm just glad we did SOMETHING.

Here's PewterReport.com's story on Brown: http://pewterreport.com/articles/view/6796

This is the end for Michael Clayton.

And Brown is NOT young, he just turned 29

[jameswilder]

let's see here as I look over the youth movement-

Reggie Brown's numbers for the past 2 years (age29)
27 catches-407 yards-1 touchdown.

Sounds like Clayton

Antonio Bryant's numbers for the past 2 years (age 29)
122 catches-1848 yards and 11 touchdowns.

And we are getting rid of Bryant because of a youth movement.

Hmmmm. Just sayin.........

So the front office is alive!! Woohooo

The guy has caught 9 and 16 balls the past 2 season in a pass happy offense...this guy is garbage

My point exactly...this front office has no clue what they are doing!

[SWAGGANEER]

He's better than MC80 mos-def.  However, I don't see us releasing MC80 because he's our best blocking WR.

I just hope this RB86 shows up


and not this RB86


or this RB86

[Feel Real Good]

I like it. For the investment, Brown has a lot of potential. At his best he's been darned near equivalent to Nate Burleson. Only problem is two seasons have passed since then. Hope we can figure out how to make it 2007 again.

[bucpimpin]

Did we really have to trade a pick for a WR of his caliber? He would have likely been cut soon.. Also there are at least 900 WR's on the street of his caliber.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MONEY... had to say that before some of you got off on the wrong track...

[mennoman]

PR, I'd like to know why we'd be willing to give up a 6th for someone who rode pine last year, while we let Baltimore have one of the top 10 wideouts in the world for a lower 3rd round pick than we had to give.  Surely it wasn't just the money.  He signed a 4yr, $28M deal with $10M guaranteed.  That's not a whole heck of a lot more than Frying Pan Hands got last year.  The main difference is more guaranteed money, but the difference in production is incredible.  In the last 5 years Clayton = 1743 and 3TDs, Boldin = 5520 yds and 35 TDs.  Boldin has more TD's in each of the last 5 seasons than MC does in the last 5 seasons COMBINED.  PR, please tell me there was something else keeping us from trading for him.

Start the Super Bowl parade out on Dale Mabry Highway. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who desperately needed a wide receiver, have added one.

Oh wait, they added Reggie Brown. No, the Bucs haven’t landed a No. 1 wide receiver to replace Antonio Bryant yet. But they did trade a 2011 sixth-round draft pick to Philadelphia for Brown. But, hey, it’s the first real acquisition the Bucs have made this offseason and it at least comes at a position of need.

Unlike Bryant, Brown doesn’t come with baggage, other than the fact he was a high pick in the second round in 2005 and never came close to playing up to his potential for the Eagles. At absolute best, Brown might have a chance to be the No. 2 receiver in Tampa Bay.
