The idea of the Denver Broncos adding the speedy John Brown makes a lot of sense on paper, but Brown carries the sickle cell trait, which is a notoriously bad deal for players in the Mile High Denver air.
We wrote on Monday about the fact that Brown’s sickle cell trait may take him off the board of potential free agents in a couple of weeks, but according to Mike Klis, that is apparently not the case.
Here’s an important piece of Klis’ report in regards to Brown and the Broncos’ interest.
“From what I’ve been told, the Broncos are not scared off by John Brown’s sickle cell trait, and a source close to Brown says the receiver is not afraid of Denver’s mile-high altitude as a possible home — provided the team expresses interest.
