Brown stalling could be a good thing

I take a different view then my blogger colleagues when it comes to the Courtney Brown situation. The fact that he is taking so long in making his decision could ultimately be a good thing for the Redskins. By Brown taking so long we have been able to gleam the following things:

1.) Dan Snyder did not break the bank in his original offer to Courtney. Again for those of us who have promoted fiscal responsibility and frugalness this is nothing but a good sign. Gone are the days of breaking the budget for moderate talent. I just wish the other big man in Washington would listen to this course of logic.

2.) The Denver offer and the Redskin offer must be close in value. If one contract was demonstrably bigger then the other Brown would of made his decision already.
So how does the Redskins benefit from further delay? Now mind you this is just supposition, however I think Denver’s contract offer may guarantee more money to Brown, but Washington’s contract offer may be the more lucrative if he makes his incentives. Denver would probably offer him a starting position, in Washington he would have to compete. And of course there is the Lavar factor. Lavar is lobbying hard for Brown to rejoin him in the capitol and hlp him revive his career.

The longer Brown waits perhaps the more likely he will spurn the bigger money and come to DC.
