If that is true, would the Patriots take another chance? Maybe.

According to Christian Fauria of Ordway, Merloni & Fauria, the Patriots have "kicked the tires" on Brown and there have been discussions.

The Patriots are paying Brown roughly $9 million after he was released in September following sending alleged threatening text messages to a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct in a Sports Illustrated story.
