FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Troy Brown signed with the New England Patriots for a 15th season Tuesday, giving the wide receiver a chance to increase his team record of 557 catches.
Brown, 36, has spent his entire career with the Patriots since being drafted in the eighth round out of Marshall in 1993. He did not attend last month's minicamp where another former Marshall receiver, Randy Moss, worked out with his new team after he was acquired from Oakland in a draft day trade in April.
The Patriots have stocked up on wide receivers, adding Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker and Kelley Washington in the offseason and Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney last season. But New England still can use Brown, who had 43 receptions last year and started nine of the 16 regular season games in which he played.
