Maybe so, but his numbers have been declining, he's missed 16 games due to injury in the last 4 years. He may be decent back-up.

I'm just mystified why this signing gets the attention that it does form the media.

There really is no reason that this signing should make big headlines or get a lot of attention -- but to be honest, I'm not sure it did make big headlines or get a lot of attention (though in fairness, I haven't been paying all that much attention.)

It's a pretty marginal move. It brings in a guy with a fairly high upside but a lot of injury risk. And really, past history would seem to indicate that Brown won't be used properly under Andy Reid.
