Former Bills wide receiver John Brown is a free agent once more.
Brown was cut in a salary cap move by Buffalo (4-2) earlier this offseason after a mostly productive spell with the Bills. In 2020, injuries slowed him down.
Brown was first signed by the Raiders this past summer, only to ask to be released. That was granted.
Now for the second time, that same scenario played out.
Signed by the Broncos earlier this month to their practice squad, the 32-year-old again asked to be released. That happened on Tuesday.
According to Broncos Wire, Brown wanted to be let go of again because the Broncos had receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) returning from injury.
Because of that, Brown didn’t want to just sit on the practice squad since he wasn’t going to be called up with Jeudy’s recovery. That’s why he’s now without a team.
As a free agent, Brown could now potentially sign with a new club soon, even the Bills.
But Orchard Park seems unlikely considering Brown was upset with playing time twice already this season.
In Buffalo, he’d be well behind several others on one of the NFL’s deeper receiver depth charts.
