Good fit as a dual back with Maroney?
While the Pats have made contact with free agent Chris Brown, nothing is imminent in terms of bringing the 6-foot-3, 220-pound former Tennessee Titans [team stats] running back aboard to shore up the backfield.
“We’ve had some cursory conversations with the Patriots,” said Wynn Silberman, who represents Brown. “They respect what Chris can do. They felt he may prove to be a nice fit in their offensive scheme, a nice complement to (Laurence) Maroney and the very legitimate backs they have, but at this point, we’re in a little bit of a holding pattern. We want to make sure it’s the right situation for Chris, and if Chris is going to be involved in a dual-back, or supporting role. We want to make sure he’s contributing in the best way possible. We’ve agreed to sit tight, continue talking, and see what happens.”
Brown played in just five games last year for the Titans, partially because of injury, but ran for 851 yards in 15 games in 2005, and 1,067 yards in 11 games in 2004
