Brown Back in the Fold

Troy Brown, who has done everything possible to help the Patriots win over the course of their run in the past few years, is on the verge of re-signing with the Patriots. Brown, the respected team leader, wide receiver, defensive back, return man out of Marshall has been as much of a vital cog in the Patriot machine as any of the bigger names. he made the key play against San Diego last season in the divisional playoff game when Belichick inserted him yet again to aid a tattered secondary. In the words of new Patriots acquisition Randy Moss, who has no history of modesty:

"I've always considered myself to be the second-best receiver to come out of Marshall. Being able to play with a Troy Brown and what he's done for the organization. Like I've always said, he's started the trend of guys going into the league from Marshall."

The Pats' wide receiver corps is jammed right now. Something tells me that there will be room for #80 when camp breaks.
