I'm not against signing Brown as a one year band-aid, and keeping our draft picks and Ogun.
Yes Brown is old and slow and won't stretch the field, but he has excellent hands, runs precise routes, will keep his feet in bounds on the sideline out routes and he won't drop the gimme catches on 3rd down that stall drives and cause the QBs to lose faith in him. Didn't we see some of that from Thompson last year early on before the Qbs had their fill of it and began to look elsewhere?
Brown can make the tough catch too, but the biggest thing is he won't drop the routine ones as so often plagued us last year with Thompson and McKnight.
Then next year we can bolster the receiving corps in free agency and the draft.
