I'm not as excited as most are about this pickup. I think TTsTowel has more of a handle of reality than most everyone else in this thread.
He's a long, tall, rangy CB but he's also 30, penalty prone, & injury/suspension prone. Meh.

Great analysis.

yeah browner is good but not great and is more of a system CB. he's also slow (so age is a huge worry) and a major suspension risk
it all depends on salary

hes still an upgrade to our secondary.

If he made the transition to safety, more so an in the box safety, I think the pick-up would be awesome.

If you would have asked me at the end of the year if a player like Browner would ever be on this defense I would have laughed myself to death.
This is a massive upgrade.

This. He's better than everyone not named Keenan Lewis and this is what we needed. His speciality is jamming WRs at the line of scrimmage and disrupting the jump. Short/intermediate routes are all his while Byrd flies on top.

so youve completely given up that byrd could be a great contributor on this defense? based on that short span of time?

I think the pickup works very well in our division with Evans, Jackson, and Benjamin.
Still hope we land Williams too

yep...and paying him over $5M a yr is too much! he will certainly bring another element to our defense, but how much did @kennyvacarro help with that last season?
Posted on 3/12/15 at 1:37 pm to SlowFlowPro
Byrd played 4 games dude 
Browner is an upgrade, but he's going to be overpaid just like any of the other big FA CBs. Everyone is looking for 1

i don't think he'll ever come close to justifying the contract he was given

And? Byrd wasn't healthy at any point. We will see this year what he can bring to the table.
Posted on 3/12/15 at 1:37 pm to SlowFlowPro
Signing Browner means they're probably confident in Byrd making a comeback.

that's reasonable, as long as the deal is only 3-4 years long (to absorb the signing bonus)

How did you not have the slightest bit of worry of gambling on someone with an injury?

looks like browner's deal is only 3 years, which is good
Posted on 3/12/15 at 1:44 pm to SlowFlowPro
If you look at this year and the top FA CB's last year and what they got I don't think this deal is out of bounds.
Posted on 3/12/15 at 1:45 pm to goatmilker
well the point would be moot if one of our 800 CBs drafted under this regime would have panned out
can't wait to draft another one this year
