Brown asks for trade

Titans RB Chris Brown requested a trade in a letter written to the team on July 17. Heading into the final year of his contract, Brown believes that he'd be better served with another team. "We feel there are a number of other places that would provide a significantly better fit as Chris heads into this contract year," said his agent, Ryan Morgan.

Since there are very few teams looking to acquire a starting RB, Brown's options might be thin. One possibility is the Jets, who have an ancient Curtis Martin and second-year back Cedric Houston listed as their #1 and #2.

I'm tired of players demanding trades without doing a little homework. Where could Brown go right now and become a starter? There are only a handful of teams, none of which offer the offensive potential of the Titans. With Billy Volek and Vince Young throwing to a good receiving corps, Tennessee could be a surprise team this year. While the backfield seems crowded, if Brown was so good, why couldn't he hold off LenDale White?

I say shut up and honor your contract.
