From ESPN:
After the New Orleans Saints lost Pro Bowl left tackle Jammal Brown to hip surgery, there was concern about slotting in former seventh-round pick Jermon Bushrod at the all-important position.
But now, as per ESPN.com senior writer Len Pasquarelli, he's played so well that another team's personnel director has indicated that he'd take only Joe Thomas and Ryan Clady ahead of him in a comparison of young tackles.
So that's the problem: which tackle will the team keep for 2010? Brown will be 29 when the 2010 season begins, with many good years left, but Bushrod is three years his junior, and being paid peanuts. Look for GM Mickey Loomis to try and move one of the two, pending a full recovery for Brown.
I personally think he has done a great job in the run and pass...He has a real test today w/ Peppers, but Abraham is no slouch either. If things do work out maybe we can trade Brown for a DT or OLB or draft pick... I like Brown, but if a player is younger and performing just as well if not better then we have to use Brown as trade bait while he is still semi-young. Good to see Bushrod getting recognized though...
