FOXBORO, Mass. - The New England Patriots (news) declined an option on receiver-turned-cornerback Troy Brown on Tuesday, allowing the 12-year veteran to become a free agent.
Once one of the Patriots' most dependable receivers, Brown's biggest contribution in the most recent Super Bowl season was on defense. With the New England secondary decimated by injuries, Brown filled in as an extra defensive back.
