Jets Want Brown?

The New England Patriots' all-time leading receiver is considering catching on with the team's most despised rival according to the Boston Globe. Free agent wide receiver Troy Brown visited with the Jets yesterday and worked out for them, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The Patriots told Brown recently that they were not planning to offer him a contract for 2008 at this time and that he was free to seek other offers if he wanted to play a 16th season.
It was initially thought the 36-year-old Brown, who has not stated whether he plans to return or retire, would not entertain teams that would play the Patriots this season. However, visiting the Jets signaled that he plans to explore all his options before making a decision. Brown also might not have a choice, as the Browns and Lions, teams initially thought to be interested in Brown, have cooled their pursuit, according to the source. Source: Boston Globe
