While it seems like everyone is leaving the New Orleans Saints, the club did come to an agreement with free agent cornerback Brandon Browner on a three-year deal.

The New Orleans Saints are in the middle of a massive roster turnover with everyone but Drew Brees and Brandin Cooks on the trading block it would seem, but the team did make an addition on Thursday after so many defections.

Former New England Patriots cornerback, Brandon Browner agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth roughly $18 million, according to NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport on Thursday.

Browner turns 31 in August and is coming off a season that saw him start nine games after he began the season on the suspended list and had one interception, seven pass deflections and 32 combined tackles in his first and last season with the Patriots.

Browner began his NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2011 and made the Pro Bowl in his first year as he helped form the Legion of Boom secondary that propelled the team to much success during his three years in the Emerald City.

His professional career, however, began with the Canadian Football League with the Calgary Stampeders as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State. He was a three-time All-Star and won the Grey Cup in 2011.

Browner had six interceptions in his rookie year but only has five in the three seasons since, but the 6-4, 221-pound strong safety is one of the more physically imposing corners in the NFL.

The Saints will look radically different from the team fans had come to know and love with Jimmy Graham, Pierre Thomas and Curtis Lofton among the players moved this offseason.

And more could be on the way, but Browner hopes to make the Patriots look bad for not picking up his option and make a positive impact on his new team and city.
