"I Ain't Fakin" Brown...

What if you are the manager at the local hamburger joint and some guy who does the hiring decides to pay the fry cook more than you? Then you find out that the cashier and drive-thru guy are cashing larger checks than yours. And he has a meeting scheduled with the assistant manager to increase his payola. Think you'd be mad?
Now imagine you are Fakhir "Don't Call Me Faker" Brown...

On the CB depth chart, the two guys behind you (Craft and Thomas) are signed to multi-million dollar contracts and the only guy ahead of you is about to negotiate a deal to take care of his family for life. And you are a starting CB making the league minimum.

Wanna make matters worst? How about, in my opinion, CBs #3-#5 on the depth chart don't have a shot at moving ahead of Brown as the starter... Brown is the best tackler the Saints have at CB... and the Saints need the physical Fahkir if they want to continue to play press coverages.

Want more?

It appears the coaches like Fahkir Brown. Willy "don't call me Defensive Coordinator" Robinson doesn't appear to want to replace Fahkir Brown. During the offseason, the team did not make a move in free agency or the college draft that would indicate they wanted to replace Fahkir Brown. Bottom line... Brown won't be challenged for his starting role in this training camp.

So why not pay Fahkir Brown like a starting CB in the NFL? Or, for that matter, I am sure Brown wouldn't mind a salary similar to the money being made by the 3rd or 4th best CBs on the team.

GO Saints...
