I just saw a report on NFL Live that the Eagles traded Ronnie Brown to the Lions. No word yet on the conditions, I'll try to get this updated as soon as I see it.

Update: First link I found on the trade: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/3155/ronnie-brown

Eagles traded RB Ronnie Browns to the Lions in exchange for Jerome Harrison and an undisclosed 2013 draft pick.

Saw this update on ESPN's fantasy site: Meanwhile, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports the pick is a seventh-round pick.

Has he touched the ball this year?

Has he touched the ball this year?

Yes, and as he was about to get tackled, he turned around and threw the ball.

Love this trade. Jerome was doing well last year, even had some great runs vs. The Skins on Monday Night. I thought RB would help with short and third. But he failed and even screwed up major on the 3rd and goal. Horrible. Jerome and Dion Lewis will be great in the next 3/4 of the year.

The Eagles also get a pick out of this? For Ronnie Brown? Really?

[dockeryfan]

I guess I'm in the minority that thinks Ronnie Brown is a better back. I think it's just Reid making a statement. That and the point that Philly doesn't really need him.

Hope Brown enjoys watching Best beast from the sidelines.

Hope Brown enjoys watching Best beast from the sidelines.

In a few weeks, maybe. But the reason this trade was made was because Best has another concussion (he had one this preseason too). So I think they'd rather lean on Brown for a few weeks than Maurice Morris, and they didn't think Harrison could do it.

And if it's a 7th rounder, that's not a terrible deal.

don't they have keiland?

[GhostofSparta]

don't they have keiland?

Yep, he's their 4th string RB (Don't know many teams that carry those, plus a FB)

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

With Helu and Royster, I'd be dangling Hightower and Torrain in front of the Lions to see which they liked best. A desperate team could be a team we could get value from to help next off-season with the continued rebuild.

We won't. But I certainly would.

Hail.

*Edit* Scrap that, it's Wednesday already.

Lions | Jerome Harrison has brain tumor

Thu, 20 Oct 2011 10:12:42 -0700

Detroit Lions RB Jerome Harrison (head) was not traded to the Philadelphia Eagles because a physical showed he has a brain tumor. He has begun receiving treatment for the tumor and his long-term outlook for his life as well as his playing career appears to be good. He is expected to miss the rest of this season.

That trade may have saved his life. Crazy stuff.

I think Ryan Leaf also has a brain tumor. Sad.

[pjfootballer]

Isn't this the 2nd time Harrison would have gone to the Eagles?

[terrifNick21]

Isn't this the 2nd time Harrison would have gone to the Eagles?

Yep

[scyber]

Reports are saying that they found a brain tumor during his physical.

[PokerPacker]

holy ****. that was an unexpected turn of events.

[Boss_Hogg]

wow, that's a shocker.

Poor guy, hope he gets better

[FanboyOf91]

Best of luck, Jerome.

[BucketHTTR]

Holy cow.. Crazy.

[Redskins Life]

That trade may have saved his life. Crazy stuff.

I was thinking the same thing. If it wasn't for this trade, he made not have been diagnosed until it was too late.

[GhostofSparta]

Reports are saying that they found a brain tumor during his physical.

Holy ****, that's why he failed the physical? That's ****ed up. I hope, if that's the case, that it's operable.
