Bills grab WR Justin Brown

[Black&GoldenShowers]

Why was he just now on waivers? Is it because they released him after the regular season ended and he had to wait for the post season to finish?

We threw away Josh Mauro who looked good in the pre-season. The Steelers cut him. Mauro was and quickly picked up by Arizona. Yet somehow Landry Jones has a roster spot? With Moore on the way out, Brown had some value to us as the #4 WR. Not a huge loss IMO.

Hated that they couldn't find a spot for Mauro (or Williams for that matter). Notice the lack of depth that we now have at DE with Thomas and Keisel as possible cuts. That young pipeline of defensive ends is gone after a part of year of training.

No big loss with Brown. He had a good camp, but was very slow in games and didn't showcase his hands.

Once we lost a WR named Leslie Brown... he was a UFA who was about 7th on the depth chart. We were stacked at WR and he was never going to be anything but depth here. He carved out a decent role on the redskins for years. Started for a bit IIRC... we had a LB named Carlos Emmons, couldn't get playing time here, totally buried by better players...... finally got a little then bolted in free agency to Philly and had a really good run down there....

Brown wasn't ever going to be a top 3 wr here barring injuries. he was at best 5th or 6th even if moore walked. he was ok as a blocker but as a wideout... eh... Losing a guy from a position of strength is not a concern... its when we lose guys like Urbik and Kuhn for dumb reasons in areas we are weak at... that's what hurts

Just saw Urbik listed as a potential cap cut because he graded out as the Bills worst O-lineman. Maybe not totally dumb.

Carlos Emmons sucked.

Had this guy not have been a Pennsylvania guy, not one person would ever have given 2 ***** about him. Good for him. He got picked up.
Tears shed tonight about. "Losing"him?
