Ronnie Brown to Detroit

[Brian Fein]

for Jerome Harrison

Interesting trade.  Seems like a net-zero, but maybe leaning a bit towards the Lions.

Yea, Detroit could really use his 38 yards rushing and 1 fumble this year on 13 attempts.

Hope Ronnie invested well, I think this is his last year in the league.

Another guy who flat out can't play anymore

Definitely NOT a net zero. Philly made out on this one- they cut Jerome Harrison in favor of Brown, then got him back PLUS a draft pick. The funny thing about the trade is just about every web site reporting it has a big picture of Ronnie's fumble as the headlining pic for the news, lol! -EK

That's the only play of note he's made this year.  LOL

I'm afraid Ronnie is washed up.  It looks like he's been playing scared for a few seasons now.  Injuries have taken their toll on him.

[MikeO]

Trade was VOIDED. Ronnie back in Philly.

Sure that is somewhat akward. Hey Ronnie welcome back, we tried to get rid of ya but since your back give us 100% will ya. lol

I like how it took Philly 6 games to realize that Brown sucked, when it took the Dolphins 5 years and a #2 overall pick.

And some here on this board were crying we didn't bring him back. LOL

Ronnie was pretty damn good until he started getting injured the last few years.  His problem is not physical.  It's between his ears.

[JVides]

As much as I liked the guy's potential (and let's be honest, he would've had a monster year in the Cam Cameron offense if he'd been healthy the full year) I think Ronnie hit the big back wall, which is to say he lost his wasn't-elite-anyway speed.

Turns out that, during the physical, Harrison was found to have a brain tumor...and that's what shot the deal.

How in depth is that physical?  I swear I always thought they were just a formality.

Glad they seemed to have found that tumor early on Harrison and I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
