The New Orleans Saints on Saturday afternoon announced that two-time Pro Bowl tackle Jammal Brown has signed his one year, $3.6 million tender and been traded to the Washington Redskins.
The Saints’ release said the team will receive an undisclosed pick in the 2011 NFL draft from the Redskins.
Brown, a 2005 first-round draft pick from Oklahoma who has been a starter since his rookie year for the Saints, missed all of last season after having hip and hernia surgery during training camp. Jermon Bushrod started in Brown’s place last season including the Saints’ 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
