The Seahawks made a few roster moves official Tuesday, most notably the return of one of the original members of the Legion of Boom, Brandon Browner. Now 31, he may be on the decline. Although it's hard to tell if last year was a trend or aberration as he claims he was never 100%. If he was anywhere near 100% he may be out of here faster than Cary Williams because Browner was abysmal last year.

An article in the Seattle Times brought up a good point on the Browner signing, being that when signing a veteran corner, veterans don't have a good track record adopting Seattle's philosophies a la Cary Williams and Antoine Winfield. Therefore signing Browner is fairly low risk, as he is a known commodity a part from how he will hold up over the course of the season. But this is football, really no player's health is a known commodity.

Browner's contract will likely be a team friendly one, especially as he is guaranteed $2.75 million from the Saints and taking into account that he has been cut by two teams after each of the past two seasons, . Even so, he performed well with the Patriots the year after he left Seattle as a free agency, starting opposite Derrelle Revis on a championship team.

Another signing announced by the team Tuesday was DeShawn Shead to a restricted free agent tender, among other signings. Shead's is significant as it provides more depth in the secondary as he can play both safety and corner, starting one game at safety and five at corner last season. He played phenomenally when given an extended look, and could be an insurance policy at safety should Kam Chancellor rehash his contract squabbles. 

Shead did well stepping in for Chancellor towards the end of the year as Kam was limited and eventually sidelined for a time. However Chancellor was in attendance Wednesday as the Seahawks began their offseason workout program.

Thus far this offseason Kam has been silent on his feelings about his contract. Granted it's still early, and possibly there's been some behind the scenes work reassuring him, or making it clear he won't get anything. If anything should be clear to Chancellor it's that he has no leverage as he's signed through 2017. If anything, it's in his best interest to play true to his form this year and force the team to keep him on for 2017, the year in his contract where his salary is highest.

But again this is the NFL, and no matter how well you play it comes down to staying healthy, which is never a known commodity.
