Post-Patriots life hasn’t turned out too well for Brandon Browner.
The former New England cornerback has been a disaster for the New Orleans Saints this season, racking up an NFL-leading 21 penalties and getting into public shouting matches with reporters and assistant coaches alike.
All this dysfunction led Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Shape to declare on Twitter that the Saints, who own the worst record in the NFC South, should release Browner.
Saints should release B. Browner. He's not worth the distraction as sub par CB .

Watching B. Browner of Saints cover today. I'm convinced He couldn't cover a twin bed with a king sheet.

That’s a solid burn. Browner, however, was not amused, and more than 24 hours later, he fired back.

Sharpe waited just seven minutes before offering his rebuttal.
