faba Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but ESPN.com is reporting that the 14-year veteran agreed to a one-year contract worth $810,000. Brown, 36, recorded 37 tackles in 15 games last season, his first with New England. A three-time Pro Bowler, the 6-2, 245-pound Brown has collected 1,097 tackles and 78 sacks in 178 career games with the Patriots, the Seattle Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers. New England made several smaller moves Thursday, re-signing free-agent linemen Gene Mruczkowski and Billy Yates and releasing linebacker Ryan Claridge and rookie defensive lineman Kader Drame.

PatsFanTX Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Pats sign Brown. Why? 3-time Pro Bowl player. Fast, athletic, has all the intangibles. Great locker room presence. Fits the 3-4 scheme perfectly. This is a major signing by the Pats. Might be the best FA move in the entire NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 A 36 year old LB got more than the veteran minimum. Gone are the days when NE had leverage. They have to overpay for overaged talent now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Chad Brown was so frickin' awesome last year, this signing makes all the sense in the world! Instead of dealing for Donnie Edwards - a 33 year old proven lb with lot's left in the tank, no, The Pats signs a 36 year old lb who was too retarded to understand the Pats defensive schemes last year. This is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Here's another "winner" SULLIVAN SUCKS . . . WIND A league source tells us that Pats defensive tackle Johnathan "Burger and Fries" Sullivan was on the ground and virtually in convulsions after completing only a handful of gassers as part of the annual conditioning test imposed by New England coach Bill Belichick. As a result, Sullivan has landed on the physically unable to perform list, and likely will remain there until he shows that he's in adequate shape. The sixth overall pick in the 2003 draft, Sullivan was acquired by the Pats in June, via trade from New Orleans. He was arrested in Georgia within a few weeks thereafter.

PFSIKH Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yes, if the year was 1997. If Vilma was a Patriot, he would not even be good enough to be sent to NFL Europe so the Patriots can use that extra roster spot during training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
