Brandon Browner calls Saints 'weak,' basically says he stole 'millions' from them
Not a great look for the former Saints cornerback, who was the most penalized in the NFL last year

Last year was a sub-optimal season for Brandon Browner in New Orleans. Signed by the Saints to shore up their pass defense, he routinely hemorrhaged huge plays and tons of yards to opposing wide receivers.
Browner was arguably the worst cornerback in the entire NFL. He was certainly the most penalized, so much so that he broke an NFL record.
Everyone can probably agree Browner got a better deal with the Saints (three years, $15 million) than the Saints got with Browner (he's in the debate for worst free-agent signing in franchise history).
Anyway, Browner is now back with the Seahawks, reuniting with the Legion of Boom this offseason on a much cheaper deal (and he'll be used in a totally different position too). He expressed his excitement recently on Instagram, posting a picture of he and Richard Sherman.
Good times, right? Well, right up until a Saints fan jumped in the comments and started going at Browner for all of the reasons above.
Things got really ugly when Browner decided to reply, telling the Saints fan -- in a since-deleted comment captured by NOLA.com and in picture form by For the Win! -- that the team in New Orleans is "weak" and he basically stole "millions."
"Saints weak a-- f--- I took that few millions ran with it sucka. Get your weight up, when u address me."
This is not exactly what you want to hear if you're the Saints. It's also the second time this offseason -- and in the last week! -- a former key member of the Saints defense debacle from 2015 has come out and said something less than flattering about the organization.
The bottom line is the Saints were a nightmare last year on defense, Browner was a big part of the problem and he appears to be keenly aware of just how bad a signing he was.
