Well, for one, it's not really up to me on Browner 
... yeah, i agree that he was helped by the presence of Sherman and the safeties of that secondary but think that's what the Pats may be trying to recreate at NE (guess that drubbing of Manning in the Sb must have left a lasting impression in BB's mind). Browner without Revis would have been a desperate call that a team like Cowboys you'd expect to make, with Revis already on, however, I think that would be a diff story. And there is also McCorty to play the role of Thomas. Would just need a proper SS (draft) to emulate the physicality of the Seattle secondary, for which the Pats simply don't have the players on the roster right now. Also, they may be interested in Browner as an option at SS, given his physique. Either way, at this point, it's just a visit.
As for DRC to the Pats, that would be swell but with revis on a 1-year deal (12 mil cap hit this year) they don't have the cap room for another relatively big investment at CB. With the way the market has gone and the good year DRC had last season, I doubt he's have much trouble finding a 3-4 year deal, worth 8-9 mil a pop. That's just out of the question for the Pats now and if they were to bring in another CB (seems they are looking for the big, physical kind) it would have to be a player whose market value is low i.e. some off-field issues or is on the decline (A. Chromartie). And not many Cbs out there who fit the profile, hence why Browner is being looked at.
As for the 9ers, they don't seem to have too many needs for vet free agents outside of CB and can fill their other needs from the draft. So, 17 mil should be enough to get you one big money CB (Brown, DRC) and possibly a cheaper vet like A Crow ... and then ensure the future with the draft.
I hope to see Steve Smith with the Pats; not sure the 9ers need him after bringing Boldin back but guess if the price is right, won't hurt..

good thing he didn't go to the Colts 'cause that would have made them an even bigger player in AFC.
I can watch Geno forcing throws to Decker with Revis covering all day long. Only thing I'd have to worry about would be the popcorn.
