I agree with most of your post SFIAH, except these two parts.

Yes, Brown was a Pro Bowl tackle, but let's not assume that making a Pro Bowl means you're indispensable. Jon Stinchcomb is also a Pro Bowl tackle, not on the left side, but still went to the Pro Bowl, and I'm pretty sure nobody would consider him to be indispensable. Brown had some big holes in his game. Other than the drive-killing penalties, I remember him struggling mightily against what you call "the best pass rushers in the league." And every tackle, for the most part, does. They all need some help against those guys. I remember Brown giving up 3 or 4 sacks against Peppers a few years ago.

And I also think that because the Saints won the Super Bowl without Brown, that his value is clearly diminished. We now have another option at tackle with Charles Brown, and I still think Bushrod is maturing. He gave up only one sack in the playoffs and that was to Dwight Freeney.

Just saying I think it's unconscionable that he would ask for more money now. Terrible timing. We just proved we can win it without him. I'd like to keep him because I'm a big believer in the tenet that you can't have enough depth at tackle, but his actions have irked me.

peppers hasnt had more than 1 sack against us in the past 5 seasons

brown allowed the least amount of sacks of any starting LT last season and we passed the ball more than any other team ever has

Didn't Brown give up the least amount of sacks last year because he didn't play last year.Hell I didn't give up any sacks last year either.I need to be paid.
