Bryce Brown to Seahawks: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction
Bryce Brown wasn't able to climb up the Buffalo Bills' crowded depth chart at running back, but he'll be given a chance to revive his career after spending some time as a free agent.
According to ESPN.com's Adam Caplan, the Seattle Seahawks signed Brown Tuesday. Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. The Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson confirmed the report.
NESN's Doug Kyed reported the New England Patriots brought the running back in for a workout on Sept. 18 in advance of their Week 2 clash with Buffalo, but he went unsigned at the time.
Brown was traded to the Bills from the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2014 offseason, but he never met expectations after Buffalo spent a 2014 seventh-round pick and a conditional 2015 fifth-round pick that turned into a fourth-rounder to acquire him.
During Brown's lone season in Buffalo, he appeared in seven games—including two as a starter. Over the course of those limited appearances, he carried the ball 36 times for 126 yards and no touchdowns.
The former seventh-round pick made a name for himself by rushing for 4.9 yards per carry and four touchdowns as a rookie with the Eagles, but he wasn't able to regain that form during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
What's worse is Brown couldn't "seem to shake the fumble problem that has plagued his career," during training camp, according to WKBW.com's Joe Buscaglia.
Brown has fumbled five times on 226 career carries, and Bills head coach Rex Ryan noted back in March he wasn't going to acknowledge the tailback's presence until he improved his ball security, per Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News.
Now on his third team in as many seasons, Brown will need to prove he's capable of putting those woes behind him. But even if he is able to correct the issue, he still needs to figure out how to maximize his physical tools.
Although he's a robust 6'0" and 223 pounds, Brown has displayed a tendency to bounce runs outside. If he can't put his solid frame and acceleration to use between the tackles, regular opportunities could be elusive behind Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson and Thomas Rawls.
