Free agent tackle linked to the bears has been arrested on a gun charge
Free-agent offensive tackle Duane Brown was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday for allegedly possessing a concealed weapon.
Brown, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, posted $10,000 bond and was released from custody at 11:32 p.m. PT, according to an online record.
He is due back at Los Angeles Superior Court on Aug. 3 for a hearing on the charge, which is a misdemeanor.
Brown, who last played for the Seattle Seahawks, had a concealed firearm in his luggage as he made his way through airport security, Fox News Digital can confirm.
The lineman attempted to go through TSA screening at the LAX's Terminal 6 on Saturday at around 2 p.m. before he was stopped, Los Angeles Airport Police Lt. Karla Rodriguez said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Brown, 36, started all 17 games for the Seattle Seahawks last season, his fifth with the franchise, and became a free agent this offseason. He was added to last season's Pro Bowl as an injury replacement for the San Francisco 49ers' Trent Williams.
Brown was linked on a few occasions to the Chicago Bears this off-season. I have to agree that he would be such a great addition for first-year general manager Ryan Poles.
Pro Football Focus has made a list of the perfect fits for 8 of the best remaining free agents on the market. One of the "fits" was in fact, Duane Brown.
Brown, is a 15-year NFL vet. He has only played for two different teams in his career. Houston Texans (2008�2017) and Seattle Seahawks (2017�2021).
Even though he is on the bad side of 30, he is still a very solid player. In fact, in 2020 he posted an 87,1 PFF grade an in 2021, he had a 71.5 grade. Those are very respectable numbers. In addition to that, he has not missed a single game in the past two seasons so we know he is very durable. I 100% believe he can still give at least one good season for any team and maybe even more.
