Tim Brown Doesn’t Get Asked to do a Lot for the Raiders “And that Bothers Me a Little Bit”

No team in the NFL is known to treat their alumni better than the Raiders, but for Hall of Fame wide receiver Tim Brown, it sounds like he hasn’t been given as many opportunities to be an asset to the organization as he would like.

On Wednesday, Brown was asked by Yahoo Sports host Jason Fitz how connected he has been with the Raiders and if the organization has leaned on him as they work to build a culture that has been overwhelmingly broken since Brown left the team in 2003.

“Unfortunately, not much at all, man,” Brown said of his involvement with his former team.

“I don’t get any phone calls and that bothers me a little bit, certainly it does, because I know the fan base listens to me still. If I say something, they’re going to react to it, but it is what it is.”

“Unfortunately, Mark [Davis] was there early in my career, then he was away and I never saw Mark again until his dad passed away. So all those years we really didn’t have a connection. He has a better connection with other guys, Charles Woodson and guys like that, which is great.”

“Every time I’m around him I try to let him know, ‘I love the Raiders and always will love the Raiders,” Brown continued. “If I can do something, I’m here, but I don’t want a job, though, brother. I’m not trying [to get a job].’ I think from that standpoint he knows I’ll do whatever he needs me to do to help the team.”

For what it’s worth, Brown was on the Up & Adams Show last year and sounded a little unsure of what his role with the Raiders really was, but added that he loved the role he had.

“I love the role I have with the Raiders now-whatever that is, officially,” he told host Kay Adams. “Unofficially? If they need me, I’ll show up. But the day-to-day grind? Probably not for me.”
