Spending quite a big amount of money on signing free agent defensive end Julius Peppers, the Chicago Bears now feel pressed on money, so they let former starter at this position, Adewale Ogunleye, leave and still plan to trade the other defensive end, nine-year veteran Alex Brown.
According to reports, the Bears are actively shopping Brown and plan to release him if no team comes to make an offer. This comes on the heels of the announcement by Coach Lovie Smith on Wednesday at the owners meeting in Orlando, Fla., that defensive tackle Israel Idonije will move outside from tackle to end. Besides the Bears are also coveting restricted free agent end Mark Anderson. Thus the defensive end group will be too crowded if Brown stays in Bears jersey.
Having six sacks last season and 29 ½ in the last five years, Brown had 3 ½ more sacks than Kyle Vanden Bosch over the same period. While Vanden Bosch received a $26 million, four-year contract from the Detroit Lions with $11 million guaranteed, it’s unreasonable if there is no taker for Brown.
