Jamon

Brown

Brown had one horrible game last week against the Ravens, and that was all the Eagles needed to see. Taking his roster spot it TE Jason Croom, who was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Pryor on Thursday was ruled out for the team’s Week 6 game against the Ravens. Hopefully no more Eagles players find their way onto the COVID list in the coming days. Jamon Brown will start in Pryor’s place against Baltimore.

The 2019 Falcons bust had been cooling his heels on the Bears’ practice squad. The Eagles are casting a wide net in their search for depth for their epically injured offensive line.

The move comes after Brown cleared the concussion protocol. Rookie Matt Hennessy was apparently going to beat Brown out for starting duties. Signed to a “three-year deal” last March, Brown made nine ineffective 2019 starts. He is still due $4.75 million following his release, so the move is not purely financial. Headed into his age-27 campaign, Brown has 47 games of starting experience. He should be a regular on the workout circuit.

Brown is battling an illness but was previously a healthy scratch. He hasn’t played since Week 13. Brown has been a massive bust as a free agent addition, grading out as one of Pro Football Focus’ worst interior linemen.

Brown, 26, is expected to slide into the starting right guard spot with newly signed James Carpenter locking down left guard. The Falcons moves in free agency make Ryan Schraeder likely to be cut with Ty Sambrailo an option at right tackle. It’s going to be a new look for Matt Ryan and company.

Brown started all 16 games for the Rams last season but lost his job this year to Austin Blythe and was cut last week only to be claimed by the Giants. (Multiple teams put in a claim.) Brown is a mauler at 6'4/340 who prefers to run block. If he starts, Brown will replace veteran RG John Greco.

Brown started all 16 games at right guard for the Rams last season and was Pro Football Focus’ No. 52 guard out of 80 qualifiers. He was then slapped with a two-game substance-abuse ban to start 2018 and lost his job to Austin Blythe. Brown was cut Tuesday to make room for DE Dante Fowler. Brown is a 25-year-old former third-rounder in the final year of his rookie deal. He’s a decent flier for a Giants team that is obviously one of the most OL-needy in the league.

The move clears a roster spot for trade acquisition for Dante Fowler. The No. 72 overall pick of the 2015 draft, Brown was a 16-game starter last season but was a liability, as usual. Brown earned a two-game substance-abuse ban to begin 2018 and never got his starting job back.

Brown was activated from his two game suspension, but he’s returning in a backup role after starting all 16 games last year. The Rams are moving forward with Austin Blythe at right guard.
