That alone signaled 32-year old was on tenuous footing to make this team in his second go-round.

Browner was one of the original members of Seattle’s Legion of Boom, before spending 2014 on the opposite side of the field from Darrelle Revis.
Browner was a second-team safety throughout the spring and training camp, and in Seattle’s three preseason games. But Browner also had a little luggage because he became the most-penalized player over a single season in National Football League history with a ton of defensive holding calls with New Orleans.
Former New Orlean Saints cornerback Brandon Browner will be released by the Seattle Seahawks, NFL Network reported Monday. Browner had also appeared to fall behind Steven Terrell on the depth chart at safety.
“I think we’re pretty clear on his strengths”, Carroll said last week.
But a week later, the Seahawks have chose to end the experiment before the final preseason game has been played.
In his career, Browner has a dozen interceptions that were returned for 340 yards and a pair of touchdowns, one going for 94 yards. At 6-4, 220 pounds, Browner’s size and physicality helped the Seahawks become known as one of the toughest secondaries in the NFL.
Browner signed a 1-year, $1.75 million deal with the Seahawks earlier this year.
Browner’s only preseason statistics were two tackles, apparently the last two he will make as a Seahawk.

The release comes as National Football League teams trim their rosters from 90 to 75 players before the Tuesday deadline. The Seahawks will then have to get to 53 by Sunday.
