Transition from football could use more work / information.

[edit]

I personally find it a bit confusing or not quite clear on his transition from football and think that it would be helpful if someone more familiar with the situation than I am could help to improve this part of the article. "Brown visited the Rams in the first day of free agency February 27, 2009. The next day, he agreed to a five-year deal worth $37.5 million, including a $20 million in guaranteed money. The deal would make Brown the highest paid center in the NFL.[2][3] However, on March 10, it was reported that the contract has been disapproved by the league and the two sides were working to correct the issue.[4] The deal was finally approved by the NFL on March 12.[5][6]

On March 12, 2012, Brown was released by the Rams. After Football

Brown chose to walk away from football in 2012 at the age of 29 to become a farmer in Louisburg, North Carolina."

What happened during his contract? Was he injured? Was he just not playing as well as he previously had? Also, is March 12th just a generic start of season/contractual decision day? (the jump from his contract being approved, to him being released probably could stand to be clarified that it was approved in 2009.) I get the impression that he's perfectly happy with being a farmer, but surely something else besides a desire to be a farmer lead to his not completing his contract with the Rams.

What is inyari?

[edit]

In the article, it is claimed he plants it along with sweet potatoes, but I can find no references anywhere to this supposed crop. Riptor820 (talk) 18:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
