Chad Brown could have another go-round in New England.
Peter Schaffer, the agent for the veteran linebacker, who is currently without a team, said he has talked to the Patriots about Brown, but said the two sides have not spoken in two weeks.
According to Schaffer, Brown, who will turn 37 Thursday, is working out in Denver, staying in shape while he weighs his options for a 15th NFL season.
"Chad is ready to play, and if the right situation presents itself he will take it and he will play," Schaffer said...."

Is he really better than anyone else on the roster right now? Maybe he would provide some TC competition but I can't see him beating any LB that is on the team now for a spot on the final roster. I thought the first time around was enough.

It's hard to believe that in this modern age of scientific training and high-tech sports medicine that 37 is considered "old," even in the world of pro football. Anywhere else in life, 37 is a young man. But, I guess 14 years of wear-and-tear on a body at that position at that level of competition takes its toll.
Not sure why there would be such resistance to add depth for TC with a player who has played in the system before. Granted he didn't pan out as a starting material, but he's familiar with the system and could help out the new players in TC so I'm all for it.

I think some things have been acknowledged as well that mitigated his performance here in the past. Losing TJ on top of Tedy was not something BB planned for when he brought in Beisel and Brown. Brown also alluded to the fact that he felt he was not in the best condition to compete for the position he was presented with the first time around. Then I believe in 2006 he was incredibly the third player to break that freakin' wrist bone none of us were even aware we all had...
BB loves his veterans. It's all well and good for fans to presume day two draft picks are developing exponentially, but for all we know they have a flaw or two that BB isn't confident they can overcome. If he wants to bring this guy and his snakes back for a third try, who are we to say. Maybe just having him in camp makes him a more viable shadow roster player for 2007.
Personally, I have a hard time believing that he is any better than most of the young guys we have coming into camp already.
Expierience or not, what I saw from Brown the last tome around wasd more than enough for me.
Just my 2 cents.

Hey Favre, YOU SUCK!!!
The Boston Herald - It ain't toilet paper, but it'll do the job.

In addition, Brown was forced to play on the inside for much of the year, which was never his primary position. Late in the year when he played in the OLB rotation, he was much better.
I'd have no problem in signing him to be a pass-rush specialist and let training camp sort things out.
