I think he would cost significantly more. Brown signed an incentive-laden deal since he's been consistently on IR or the PUP list. Simon is a Pro-Bowler, albeit an overrated one, and will want signifcant amounts of guaranteed money. There's certainly a better market for Simon than there was for Brown (even at this point in the year); the Ravens and Packers are just two, of probably about six to ten teams interested in acquiring Simon. I cannot, under any circumstances, imagine Simon getting less guaranteed money than $8 million and he'll probably command a lot more money than that.
