Saints have confirmed Brandon Browner has agreed to a three

year deal. He's been on last 2 Super Bowl championship

teams. Can he make it 3?

[Kakarot]

Good move by the Saints.

[Carolina Cajun]

It's the Saints, so it's likely part of a sign and trade, they are gonna ship him to the Calgary Stampeders for a 3rd round Canadian Football Player draft pick and a box of Raisinets. At the end of the day, they will still be 40 billion over the cap.  LOOMIS ES TEH JENEEUS!

per PFF: Browner only gave up 2 TDs in 731 snaps last year, but was flagged 19 times

[Mr. Scot]

Lol he's good for at least one defensive holding a game.

And a PI when you need one.

Love this response to that tweet:

@LyonsYellin @WWLTV Browner is also a nut hair away from lifetime NFL suspension for drugs. #dope#browner

Keenan Lewis will still be their #1 IMO.  Good signing for their secondary though.

Boston Globe a year ago:

"Turns out the Patriots are, in fact, going all-in this offseason — just not on the side of the ball most expected.

Two days after agreeing to terms with Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis, the Patriots further bolstered their secondary by agreeing with former Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner.

...

Browner is 6 feet 4 inches, 220 pounds, and one of the most physical defensive backs in the NFL. ... he was signed by the Seahawks in 2011, who made him their starter opposite Richard Sherman. Browner had 10 interceptions in three seasons with Seattle and made the 2011 Pro Bowl"

"Browner brought a unique physicality and attitude that permeated across the entire [Patriots] secondary."

Pats blog Pats Pulpit:

"Browner gave the Patriots' defensive backfield a physical edge and was an integral part in the team's Super Bowl win after A. successfully covering [6-5/218 WR] Chris Matthews, after the Seahawks' [big] receiver took advantage of smaller defensive backs Kyle Arrington and Logan Ryan , and B. orchestrating a textbook jam on wide receiver Jermaine Kearse to give Malcolm Butler a free lane on his game- winning interception. ... Browner's role on the defense and the lack of a viable replacement make [releasing Browner] unrealistic, no matter the cap savings."

The Browner signing in NO is big time. With Keenan Lewis, NO

has 2 long CBs to match up against those big WRs in the NFC

South.
