Reggie Brown went from injured to demoted to ultimately deactivated. By the end of it all, after he was benched for the NFC championship game, the Eagles wide receiver was disillusioned. "I guess they felt like they had a good thing going," said Brown, who didn't dress against the Cardinals in favor of Greg Lewis. "I really didn't get any clear-cut answer about that. So I just pretty much let it go." Brown is now healthy and motivated. Brown declined to say if he has asked for a trade. The Eagles are more likely to trade Brown than cut him. He is about to enter the first year of a six-year contract extension he signed in 2006, and dumping the 28-year-old would cost the team nearly $3 million against the salary cap.
