Wow.
Incredible news.
I always have been biased because Browner might be one of my favorite Hawks of all time, certainly in the top five and I don't have a reasonable excuse as to why. He seems to crystallize everything the new Hawks are: Big, fast, violent and at first overlooked.
He and Kam are the originators of the Boom in the Legion of Boom. He made it clear that the job of defense was not just to prevent, but to punish.
I know everyone has their issues with the guy but I would love to see him back here, he made a mistake* but deserves to be a Hawk for as long as he wants. Specifically because he has been lights out, playing under an almost criminally undervalued contract.
(*Carroll mentioned once in being interviewed about legalization of marajuana that he felt it had a part to play in pain management. Anyone familiar with the punishment that players put themselves through, especially guys like Browner who are expected to use their bodies as battering rams, knows there is a price to be paid in damage to the body that accumulates over time. I cannot begrudge someone feeling like they need some release from that given I have been feasting on the fruits of their labor as a fan. Not saying that is the reason, but if it was....then I have a hard time judging)
Really stoked to hear the news.
