Browner Makes Statement about Joining Patriots, Honored to be Part of 'Legendary Organization'
The New England Patriots signed free agent cornerback, Brandon Browner, Friday evening.
The deal is reportedly three-years, up to $17 million; terms of the guaranteed money have not yet been disclosed. He has spent the past three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.
Browner tweeted a statement about the signing, which I have posted below. --
"Today, I am proud to announce that I am a New England Patriot. I am honored that the Patriots are making me part of their legendary organization, and am grateful for the opportunity Mr. Kraft, Coach Belichick, Nick Caserio and the entire team have given me. I intend to diligently work with the same passion and dedication that I have displayed since coming into the NFL to uphold the great traditions and qualities that are embodied by the Patriots.
"I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the Seattle Seahawks for giving a CFL player the once in-a-lifetime opportunity to return to the NFL, making a young boy's dream come true. To Coach Pete Carroll, GM John Schneider, John Idzik, Coach Richard, Rocky Seto, the LOB, my teammates, the training staff, the equipment guys the Seahawks organization as a whole and most importantly the 12th Man, I say thank you for everything you have done for myself and my family."
"I am a truly blessed person."
