And part of the way we know this is how much they paid Arrington to fill the role. Unfortunately for most fans (although not for me, as I've long been one of the few insisting that Arrington is not nearly as bad as he's perceived to be by fans), Arrington cannot be cut this season without losing money against the cap.
So, while I think this Browner theory has some interesting aspects, I don't think he's realistic as a 3rd or slot corner or as a safety.
Woodyard as a big safety...that is worth exploring.
Browner and Arrington would play different roles, despite both being used as Nickel DB's. Here's Nick Saban explaining (skip to 5:30):
