The New England Patriots have decided to re-sign wide receiver Troy Brown to a one year deal. This will be the 12th season that Brown will have played for the Patriots.

Brown can also be considered a defensive back. When the Patriots were in need of cornerbacks after Ty Law went down, Brown was able to step up and play against the slot receiver. He had three interceptions and 17 tackles defensively.

Brown still played as a wideout, recording 17 catches for 184 yards over the season.

Troy Brown is one of those roleplays that Belichick needs on his team, and he has filled his role perfectly.

"Troy Brown is a special player and person and we are glad to have him back," said coach Belichick.
