Brandon Browner a Patriots trade candidate

[SDGuy73]

Brandon Browner's Super Bowl streak is in jeopardy.

After winning rings with Seattle and New England the past two years, Browner has been given permission by the Patriots to "explore his value around the league," Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports.

In other words, the Patriots don't want to pay Browner's $2 million roster bonus due on Tuesday.

If the Pats exercise Browner's option, the cornerback would count $4.8 million against the salary cap. That's an issue for a team that wants to keep Darrelle Revis under a new deal after re-signing Devin McCourty to a monster contract.

Browner's size and physicality came in handy throughout the season, allowing the coaching staff to match him up versus tight ends and bigger receivers.

On the flip side, the speed-challenged Browner is a pass interference call waiting to happen.

They both will walk.....

I thought there was a way to move Browner's money around to not count vs the Cap. I thought it was a bonus and then lower his cap #'s. Anyway's based on what some guys are getting, he seems like a nice deal. If Revis walks, then he can go. He was better with help over the top because Revis took one guy away.

Hearing he could be on his way to Tenn Titans. He just started to follow them on Twitter. If it helps keep Revis, then fine. However, can't lose both.

Browner is going to want a SB pay raise. We signed him before the rules change - rules changed his value. I think he stays at something near what we are now giving him but he think he'll walk. Small raise? Maybe.
Revis - we will have to wait and see if he gets donkeykong sue money.
I'm not one that thinks you sign Browner because ______ is leaving
