Source: Texans give 2nd-round tender to Brown
Although C.C. Brown was drafted in the sixth round, the Houston Texans believe their starting strong safety is worth a second-round pick from another team on the open market.
That is the tender offer Brown was given Wednesday as a restricted free agent, FOXSports.com has learned.Chosen in 2005 out of Louisiana-Lafayette, Brown has started 44 of a possible 48 games in his three NFL seasons. Brown had his best campaign in 2007, finishing with career-highs in tackles (83), passes defensed (8) and fumbles caused and recovered (5).
With the second-round tender, Brown is now guaranteed a $1.4 million base salary from Houston for the 2008 season.
