Veteran receiver Troy Brown is coming back for yet another tour of duty with the New England Patriots.

According to the Boston Herald, and as pointed out to us by Gregg Rosenthal of Rotoworld.com, Brown has signed a one-year contract with the Patriots.

This time around, however, Brown has added his name to a crowded depth chart. Other receivers on the roster are Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Kelley Washington, Jabar Gaffney, Reche Caldwell, Chad Jackson, Bam Childress, Jonathan Smith, Kelvin Kight, Chris Dunlap, and C.J. Jones.

That's 13 receivers, which means that seven likely will go. Given the talent that has been added to the team at the position since the end of the 2006 season, the 36-year-old Brown possibly could be one of them.

this is great news and if they keep 6 Troy is surely to be one of them ....... he has good skills and is a great leader, would be an asset to have him around Moss

Tough to keep the 36 yearold in that type of lineup...I like him, but I would send him packing

I think they'd like to keep him on the roster for his leadership and versatility, but who to you dump? If fact, who do you dump even if you don't keep him? That is an embarrassment of riches at the wide receiver position, and most of those guys they went out of their way to bring in new for this season.

I think Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Kelley Washington, Reche Caldwell are the ones who will stay..everyone else is out..unless they make room for one more then its a toss up between gaffney and brown..

well the article you quoted at the top says they will likely keep 6 WRs and you only named 5 ....... Troy will stay he is better then Caldwell and Gafney

What's the word on Chad Jackson? Certainly they'll keep him around, right? Wasn't he just a rookie last year?

the thing is you know for sure moss,stallworth, and welker are a lock, whats the best 3 after that, it comes down to leadership and rookies...
