Duane Brown update

[Warren]

I don't think the trade was any sort of revenge for Brown speaking out on Inmategate. He wanted out. There was some speculation, before McNair's comments became public, that Brown returning when he did (a week earlier than necessary to get credit for the season) and the Texans getting him immediately into the lineup (although he was also the best option, even if rusty) was part of an understanding that it was necessary to show the Seahawks and whatever other teams might've been interested that Brown was healthy, in shape, and ready to go after the holdout.
