Calls it a career
The Eagles placed Brown on the reserve/retired list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Brought in by the Eagles this offseason to compete for a starting linebacker spot, Brown instead has opted for retirement before the campaign kicks off. With the 26-year-old out of the picture, second-year pro T.J. Edwards has a much easier path to take on middle linebacker for Philly this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018
2017
Brown sustained an ankle injury at the end of the 2018 regular season and began last year on the PUP list. By the time he returned Week 3, he'd lost his job and would play more than 17 defensive snaps just once in all of 2019. Now on a one-year, prove-it deal with the Eagles, the 26-year-old will have to earn a starting role in camp. He has experience on his side, however, as his 22 career starts are more than any other linebacker currently on the roster. Most importantly, he'll have to show that he's past the injury and tackling issues that have plagued him so far in his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Retirement completely unexpected
Brown's retirement from the NFL at age 26 on Sunday was completely unforeseen by the Eagles, who signed him as a free agent this offseason, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Brown was placed on the reserve/retired list Sunday, certainly a move the Eagles wouldn't have envisioned when they inked the fifth-year pro to a one-year contract this March. Brown was an active presence in the linebacker corps for the Chargers during his first three seasons, collecting between 79 and 97 stops each year, along with 4.5 sacks, 12 defensed passes, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. However, he was limited to 10 tackles over 13 games in 2019 while often serving as a healthy scratch. It's unknown if the experience of a sudden demotion soured him on football overall, but Brown's decision comes as a surprise considering he's presumably at full health and would likely have plenty of years ahead of him on the gridiron.
