K-Gun10 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Ex-Patriot joining hated Jets? Posted: Tuesday March 18, 2008 04:56AM ET Troy Brown, the Patriots' all-time leading receiver, is considering catching on with the team's most despised rival, the Jets. Brown visited with the Jets yesterday and worked out for them, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. It was initially thought the 36-year-old Brown, who has not stated whether he plans to return or retire, would not entertain teams that would play the Patriots this season. However, visiting the Jets signaled that he plans to explore all his options before making a decision. Brown also might not have a choice, as the Browns and Lions, teams initially thought to be interested in Brown, have cooled their pursuit, according to the source.

EndZoneCrew Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 no...because he is a scrub compared to a former league MVP.....not even close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I don't fully blame them, if you still think you can play, and are not ready to hang it up yet, you have to go where ever they will take you, even if its a rival. And what a surprise, the Jets are looking at an older name player to "upgrade" their roster. Can't wait til we get the post asking what the Bills FO is doing letting quality players like Brown go to other teams and not calling him in for a visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 He might be too young to compete with the 2008 Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 no...because he is a scrub compared to a former league MVP.....not even close! Thomas wasnt exactly lighting up the league when he went over to the dolphins. They were/are both at the tailends of their careers trying to get one last paycheck.

Boston Globe Ummm, no because Troy Brown is nowhere close to the player that Thurman Thomas was. Hell, Brown has been trying to leave NE for years, only for no other team to really show any significant interest, so that he usually ends up re-signing with NE. TB <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<TT Although......

Huuuge Bills Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Thomas wasnt exactly lighting up the league when he went over to the dolphins. They were/are both at the tailends of their careers trying to get one last paycheck. yea, but Thurman was a future HOF'er, Brown is a future janitor. not even close.

taterhill Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Troy Brown to the the Jets is like Jose Oquendo going to the Cubs...probably a big deal locally, but can be found on the the who gives a shiiiit channel otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 yea, but Thurman was a future HOF'er, Brown is a future janitor. not even close. I highly doubt brown is going to be a future janitor. They are similar in the fact that they both seen better days at the time of their departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
