Free agent OT Charles Brown will visit the Giants.
Brown can play both left and right tackle and has 22 career starts under his belt, with 14 of those coming in 2013. He gave up seven sacks and 33 hurries as the Saints left tackle in 2013 and was benched in Week 15 after getting lit up by Rams RE Robert Quinn. Brown would likely be the swing man in New York.

I always had a feeling that if the Giants traded Barry Cofield Â
For the saints 2nd round draft pick, they would have drafted this big dude. He struggled really bad for the saints last year. He was benched by Sean Payton after he was embarrassed by Robert Quinn, of whom is a BEAST!!! He is a very athletic player. He would make a really nice backup!
Scouting report: Brown's first season as the Saints' starting left tackle ended in ugly fashion. He was benched during the middle of a bad game against the St. Louis Rams and All-Pro pass-rusher Robert Quinn in Week 15. Then he never returned to the lineup after that, as rookie Terron Armstead took over the job.
Up until that point, Brown had been doing a decent job in the role -- some ups and downs, certainly, but nothing to the level of that Rams game. For the season, Brown was credited with either seven or eight sacks allowed (depending on the stat service). And he was flagged for a total of 10 holding or illegal use of hands penalties.
Brown, an athletic lineman who has added some bulk over the years, was a second-round draft pick out of USC in 2010. His first three seasons as a backup were plagued by a variety of injuries -- mostly unrelated. But he stayed healthy last season when he finally got a crack at the starting job, which was a good sign for his future options.
Projection: I think it's safe to assume that Brown will sign elsewhere this offseason, as he will probably want a change of scenery and an opportunity to win a starting job elsewhere. And I think other teams will be interested in his potential since he's still young and has some starting experience under his belt.
Brown probably won't be signed as an immediate starter somewhere else since he'll have to rehab his reputation a little bit in summer camps and the preseason. But I could definitely see him resurrecting his career if he finds the right situation.
If signed will compete for roster spot. Settles nothing. Â
but the Giants are probably waiting for his price to go down and it will as with others they may have in mind...If they lose him, so be it, but I believe they're doing this correctly
he's being looked at to sign as a BACKUP. he's a guy who has previous starting experience at both tackle spots and should come cheap.
there are holes all over the roster still, DE, DT, WR, RB (there is poor depth behind Jennings if Wilson does not play), TE (there are no NFL caliber TE's on the roster), OL.
all of these can't be solved in the draft.
you aren't getting Eric Winston as a backup, nor is there money to sign someone like that as a backup.
Came to USC as a very good blocking tight end. Very good athlete for a tackle and with some good coaching he could be a valuable backup at both OT positions.
And lets not forget on the cheap. 1 year incentive laden contracts Â
I don't know why anyone would hate this news that he is coming in for a visit. Brown has played well at times and he is athletic and still young. He is worth a roster spot to see if Flaherty can coach him up and get him to play to his potential. He would provide solid depth at OT.
"Brown is a good pass protector but lacks a little power to drive in the run game. The latter point is what they pay him for in New Orleans, though. He keeps the Saints' franchise QB upright, and that earns him a solid B grade."
He's Polian's best remaining OT followed by Campbell, drop off to Jason Fox and Andrew Gardner
Charlie Brown is not a guy you want playing at Tackle very long if at all possible.
He said he is athletic, but very inconsistent and too often is overpowered by a bull-rush (not sure of his size) and either gives up the sack or is penalized.
Said he gets penalized a lot with holds and hands to the face almost each game. The game against Quinn was not good, but was the end of the line for him after many bad weeks.

He would be similar to the Locklear move couple years ago.
Basically he could come right in and start at Left Tackle until Will Beatty is ready to go 100%.
If signed I think it shows they have faith in Beatty and Pugh stays at RT and Schwartz at LG. The draft will be focused on Center and Guard.
LOL!
I can't believe Snee is still on the roster.
But, according to the song, he is a clown.
Probably a lot more expensive too.

beatty is still the starter.
Only never-injured All-Pros. But don't overpay. And they have to be from a good team.
I'm still now sold on what we have there..I think they should sign Will Montgomery, whose out on the streets now..

Don't forget, on the right side of 30 as well or is it 27 now?

Jared Allen
Charles Brown

Anthony Spencer
Campbell
Thomas DeCoud

Brown may be a better player than Beatty. Not ready to say that yet, but he would be nice insurance.
He said he is athletic, but very inconsistent and too often is overpowered by a bull-rush (not sure of his size) and either gives up the sack or is penalized.
Said he gets penalized a lot with holds and hands to the face almost each game. The game against Quinn was not good, but was the end of the line for him after many bad weeks.
Said he'd rather have Linus out there...
He's got good size, long arms, and he's an athlete. But he is inconsistent. He's not a mauler. In some ways, he a lot like Beatty.
