Andre Brown is expected to stay with the New York Giants who have stamped him as a restricted free agent who comes with a second round pick price tag if any team came calling. But I doubt any team saw enough from Brown to offer him a multi-year deal. He was very good in the short time we did get to see him in 2012.
