Was reading yesterday that the Cardinals and John Brown have pretty much agreed to move on. Brown has been disgruntled with the coaches for quite some time...which was exacerbated in the pre-season when BA called out the WR group and insinuated that the injured WRs should be practicing...which the caused John Brown to say that he would return to field "when I am ready."
The main reason why he is still on the roster is the compensatory pick consideration should Brown ink a good contract elsewhere.
This once again does not speak well for the coaches. Michael Floyd last year. John Brown this year. J.J. Nelson has regressed to the point where he is a liability on the field. Floyd and Brown were 1st and 3rd round picks respectively. In Brown's case, his sickle cell anemia was and continues to be a major setback, but other NFL players have been able to cope with the disease and still play at a fairly high level. But, clearly, BA's and his staff's philosophy of f-bomb you now, hug you later is not working with players like Michael Floyd, John Brown and J.J. Nelson.
