McCardell had become Tampa Bay's clear-cut primary receiving threat after Keyshawn Johnson was given a paid leave of absence for the final six games of the 2003 season for being a disruptive influence.

He was released from a more lucrative contract at an inopportune time following a 2001 season where he caught 93 pa ses for 1,110 yards because of Jacksonville mismanaging the salary cap. Once Gruden's handpicked general manager Bruce Allen (now president) was brought in from the Raiders, where Gruden had previously been head coach, he deferred to him on contract matters. Allen was unwilling to significantly addre s McCardell's contract primarily because he didn't want to establish a precedent of giving into a player's demands through a holdout.

Since there are usually similar dynamics with holdouts, my experiences during McCardell's may be able to shed some light how on Brown's situation might develop as the stalemate continues.Proving value through the team's strugglesBrown's value has been apparent in Houston's first two games. The offensive line has been in disarray. The Texans gave up 10 sacks to the Jaguars in a season-opening upset lo s at home. The offensive line wasn't much better in a Week 2 road contest against the Bengals in which the only touchdown was courtesy of a 49-yard run from rookie quarterback . The only thing that hasn't seemingly gone Brown's way is that the Texans escaped Cincinnati with a narrow victory to even their record at 1-1. When it came to McCardell's holdout, the beginning to Tampa Bay's season was better than we ever could have imagined for our case. Or so we thought. The Buccaneers suffered injuries at wide receiver during an 0-4 start. Joey Galloway sustained a groin injury in the season opener that kept him out six weeks. It was the worst game statistically for Gruden's offense to that point in his tenure. Joe Jurevicius was already sidelined for several more games. An aging , who signed during training camp, was ineffective replacing McCardell. The Buccaneers had trouble scoring points in a couple of lo ses where McCardell may have made a difference in the outcome of those games. The team was averaging a mere 12.3 points per game a quarter of the way through the season. Kennard McGuire, Brown's agent, is probably viewing Houston's offensive struggles as confirmation of his client's value to the team just as we did with Tampa Bay's offensive struggles. Unfortunately for McGuire and Brown, the Raiders signing Penn to a https://www.justshopfalcons.com/kendall-sheffield-jerseys">Kendall Sheffield Jersey two-year, $18.7 million extension (worth up to $20.6 million though incentives) where just $3 million of his 2018 base salary is fully guaranteed doesn't help their cause.

According to Pro Football Focus, Brown are Penn are the only two tackles to play at least 400 offensive snaps during the 2016 season that gave up just one sack.
