He's getting the staff he wants. What about players?

$5 million for Brown doesn't seem like top tier money, but spotrac.com has him listed as a 4-3 MLB and his salary was 7th on that list.  Don't know how many teams run a 4-3, but even among all ILB (4-3 and 3-4) his salary was 17th.  That should be decent starter money.  I think Brown's injury slowed him down, but his less than stellar play make people forget that he was not our usual over-the-hill has-been free agent LB.


One top tier free agent and another good starter from free agency would be pretty good this year.

I will definitely give credit to Mike Brown for making that trade.

Sure, Glenn had a down year. But being able to grab a good OT (when healthy) and only moving down a few spots in the draft was a smart move.

I also did like Brown. Beginning of the year he was doing well. Granted he had some troubles in pass coverage, but other than that he was a very solid pickup and easily the Bengals best linebacker
