Hall Of Famer
I don't think anyone is argueing that Ronnie needs to be reasonable when it comes to a new contract, and shouldnt expect top tier money. However I think getting rid of our top offensive weapon before having a proven replacement is not what this team should be doing right now.
I think Ricky Williams 1121 yds and 11 tds was a proven replacement. More yards and tds than Brown ever had and in less games as a starter.
Ricky is getting up in age but we could draft a guy and develop him over the year instead of having to throw him to wolves in the beginning. Brown if he comes cheap is a great option but no matter if we sign him or not we know he cannot carry the load by himself and has not been able to finish many seasons as a starter.
