Saints sign CB Brandon Browner

Saints sign CB Brandon Browner (3 years, $15 million): B Grade
New Orleans fans better get used to pass interference flags. Brandon Browner was whistled for a whopping 19 penalties in 2014 (including the playoffs), and that's after missing the first six games of the season!

Having said that, this is a fairly decent addition. The Saints were desperate for cornerback help, and Browner was the fourth-best-available player at his position as of his signing. Browner is better than what the Saints already had at corner across from Keenan Lewis, so this is definitely an upgrade. Browner will turn 31 this summer, but the Saints aren't throwing a ton of money his way. This price seems about right for him.

ESPN says he won't help our D - that makes me feel even better about the signing...

He can play better than any other #2 corner we had last season with his eyes closed

Must be coincidence he has been a full time starter for the past twosuperbowl winners

Ashley · 03-12-2015, 05:07 PM

he's better than what we have put there. Plus we still might draft one somewhere along the way

So far we got our CB in FA, our stud C in a trade, got rid of Puddin Graham. Now if we get a stud NT, ILB, and a G in the draft, I will know without a shadow of doubt Payton has read all my post and has come to his sinces. I'm lovin' this. Don't be suprized on draft day a starter on our team gets traded for high picks. We may own this years draft it is full of needs and wants for the Saints. Only suprize was Bunkley staying.

He's a great stop gap and a solid #2 corner. We have young guns waiting to step in if needed and now have time to get seasoned.

He's certainly not the long term answer, but he's an upgrade to what we have.

As Rugster said, he's a solid stopgap, but we certainly need more talent at CB.
