Do we sign this guy or are you satisfied with Morris, Faulk, Evans and Hairston as back ups?

Patriots eyeing Brown?
Friday, May 4 - Don't dismiss the possibility of New England making a play for Brown, who lost his starting job to Travis Henry last season in Tennessee, writes Len Pasquarelli.
The Pats have done some background work on Brown and, with the release of Corey Dillon earlier this spring, they need another back to help second-year veteran Laurence Maroney with the workload. Brown is still a young guy, just 26, and might be frustrated enough with the free agency experience at this point to accept a one-year deal with a team that could get him a Super Bowl ring.
Brown rushed for 1,067 yards in 2004 and 851 yards in 2005 and, while he absorbs a lot of hits because of his upright running style, the guy doesn't have much tread rubbed off his tires. He has carried only 541 times in four years and appeared in just five games in 2006. He might not be a perfect fit in the New England offense, but he could be the best back available to the Pats if they want to add a veteran to the mix.
