Title: Brown asking for a trade Post by: Paul-London on October 05, 2006, 12:01:56 PM Travis Brown the 3rd string inactive QB for Raleigh this week demanded a trade to possibly start elsewhere and practically begged some of the teams in the FWL to trade for him.
Brown started as a rookie for the Skyhawks in Season 13 and threw for 3,455 yards, 15 td's and 3 ints finishing 10th overall. Raleigh were 5-9 and Brown was one of the bright sparks as Raleigh had the best passing offense in the league. The following year the Skyhawks passing offense ranked 6th as Brown had another good year with 3,706 yards (5th overall), 18 td's and 7 ints but Raleigh finished just 2-12 as they lacked a rushing attack. Then the Skyhawks drafted QB Aaron Rodgers 1st overall and the writing was on the wall for Brown. He wanted a trade and sought out some teams but team management said no and wanted to keep him. With promising young QB Casey Clausen the potential future backup Browns starting days could be over. With Rodgers missing one game last year to injury, Brown started and as usual made things happen, he threw for 326 yards in his one start with a td and an int. However this year with Jarious Jackson moving up to the QB2 slot Brown has been inactive all year. "Yeah i'm frustrated" said Brown, "I had nearly thrown for the most yards in the first two years in the league the same as Rohan Davey (Who set records for most yards in his first 2 seasons in the FWL) and now here I am inactive. Yes on paper i may not have the best intelligence but just look what i do on the field, I make plays, i throw touchdowns, i throw for yards, I can play and deserve to start in this league" Where could he go ? "Barcelona" said Brown. "I can see myself playing there, (Dameyune) Craig wont be around forever, I can walk straight in and start for that team) said a hopeful Brown. Other destinations could be Orlando who have had losing season after losing season with Tony Romo, New York may even want a change in the future and Rhein dont seem to have a young QB to take over from Dani Pegenaute. Will Brown who is a talent sit there gathering dust or will he hope to be traded before the main deadline coming up soon ?
