As a reader pointed out.. Brown is scheduled meet with St.Louis and Kansas City. However this article from John Clayton says that Atlanta was the first to contact him. Looks like my theory that no one pays attention to kickers in the first week was flat out wrong.
If someone wants to make Brown the highest paid kicker in the league then so be it. Just remember, the Hawks aren't tight against the cap because they have spent poorly. They have paid good players what they deserve. When you have numerous pro bowlers on a team, it is hard to pay a kicker more money than every other kicker in the league.

I'm not sure Branch is getting paid what he deserves but other than that I agree with the article.
ReplyDeleteIf these are the teams that he is going to choose from and decides to leave, that just shows you he is only in it for the money. How could you walk away from a good offer from a possible Superbowl team and leave for more money (only $400K if reports are right)and go to a team that won't see the playoffs while he is there? At some point, I guess winning would be more important to a true athlete and not one in it for money, especially since we are not talking huge $ difference.
