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.

This really surprised me. Yeah he was getting old, but he was a dedicated guy who would do whatever he was told and not complain. I would love to have him on any team I played on.

That's not good news... Brown was (in my opinion) one of their strongest players. A serious mistake on the Patriots part.

Maybe we'll pick him up... don't know if the Bills want to spend the type of money he'll probably demand tho.

I don't think he will demand that much money. He is old and not a primary receiver anymore.
