The minor benefit (beyond the downgrade in kicker) is that it forces the NYG to carry 2 kickers on their 53 man roster into the first week. I'd hate to have to waste a precious roster spot that way.
Actually, they don't have to. After the final cuts, Brown is technically not on the roster, and is officially suspended. His replacement would be a placeholder for one week until Brown is eligible to be reinstated, and then the replacement is released with Brown taking his roster spot.
Where it would get interesting is that as a result of not being on the roster the first week, Brown's salary is no longer 100% guaranteed.
