ESPN 710 Seattle thinks Seahawks RCB Brandon Browner could be next up for a contract extension.

Beat writer Danny O'Neill doesn't believe the Seahawks will shell out anymore money in long-term contracts this year, but Browner certainly fits the profile as a candidate for one. Browner is entering just his third season in the league as a 27-year-old, and he's scheduled to be a restricted free agent next March. He graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 22 cornerback last season. All three of Browner, LCB Richard Sherman, and FS Earl Thomas are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents after 2014.

Seahawks activated RCB Brandon Browner from the reserve/suspended list.

Browner was eligible to return to the team on Monday, and he did just that. The Seahawks now have the other half of their dynamic cornerback duo back just in time for the playoffs. Seattle placed CB Walter Thurmond III (hamstring) on injured reserve to make room on the roster.

The Seattle Times reports Seahawks CB Brandon Browner has dropped his appeal of his four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy, and will miss the final four games of the regular season.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Seahawks CBs Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman are both expected to be available for Week 14 versus Arizona.

It's a bad break for Larry Fitzgerald, not that the Cardinals quarterback could get the ball to his top receiver if Browner and Sherman were out, anyway. Sherman and Browner are facing four-game suspensions for using Adderall, and their appeals hearings have not yet been scheduled. By refusing to accept the suspensions, Browner and Sherman risk missing playoff games, if 7-5 Seattle qualifies. At the same time, Browner and Sherman could avoid the four-game bans altogether if they win the appeal.

Seahawks RCB Brandon Browner leads the NFL in pass interference penalties this season.

Browner, a pro bowl alternate, has been flagged six times for pass interference (tied for most in the league), three times for illegal contact (tied for most in the league) and four times for defensive holding (tied for third most in the league). While his lack of speed has resulted in a high number of penalties, the Seahawks primarily use press coverage on defense, which benefits his physical style of play. A former CFL standout, Browner is tied for fourth in the NFL with six interceptions this season.

Seahawks RCB Brandon Browner was picked on by Ben Roethlisberger in Sunday's loss to the Steelers.

The 6'4 Browner couldn't get a jam on the Steelers' speedy wideouts and paid the price. He gave up a touchdown to Mike Wallace, a 39-yard pass interference call and a 53-yard catch to Wallace. "He needs to grow from this," coach Pete Carroll said. The Seahawks are going to want to hide him for their Week 3 matchup with Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals.

CB Brandon Browner is expected to start opposite Marcus Trufant in the Seahawks' opener.

Yikes. Browner is 6-foot-4, 27 years old and has spent four seasons in the CFL after getting tryouts with a half-dozen NFL teams. Now it appears he's ahead of Walter Thurmond III for the starting gig after Kelly Jennings was traded away. The 49ers figure to test Browner often on Sunday.
