Pats release veteran linebacker Chad Brown before regular-season finale 51 minutes ago FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots released linebacker Chad Brown on Thursday. Brown, who played two games in his 15th NFL season, was cut two days before the Patriots try to complete a 16-0 regular season at the New York Giants. Brown, 36, had spent his first four seasons with Pittsburgh and the next eight with Seattle before playing 15 games for New England in 2005. Last season, he returned to the Steelers and played eight games. This year, the Patriots released him on Sept. 1, re-signed him to play in the second game against San Diego on Sept. 16 and released him on Oct. 10. He returned Nov. 27 and played in only one more game, a 20-10 win over the New York Jets on Dec. 16.
He's done. If he was like Seau who is still productive as his age i would say maybe but for one game? What would be the point in that?
LMAO when I saw 51 minutes . . . for a split second i thought it was his age . . . lol. The guy is too old regardless.
Seau wasnt slow, maybe old, but nowhere near done. He was tired of losing. Dont be fooled for a second that the whole "retire" thing wasn't a plan from day one. Brown is however old and slow, and we have no need for a vet LB. We are in no contention for anything. Keep the roster we have now and just make it through the yr.
