2015
Brown is one of five new linemen added during the offseason to compete for a role on a revamped offensive line. He rehabbed a knee injury during the offseason and missed OTAs, but once healthy, Brown should move ahead of Blake Fisher at right tackle.
Brown is coming off an uneven 2022 campaign in which he allowed eight sacks (fifth-most among OTs) with 13 penalties (tied for second-most among OTs), but the 6-8, 370-pounder remains on track to start at left tackle for the Patriots this coming season.
Brown, is back with the Patriots looking to recapture the form he displayed in 2018, his only season in New England before signing a big deal with the Raiders. In his second stint with the team, the 28-year-old should be a big part of the Pats' line in 2021, where the 6-foot-8, 380-pounder can either work at tackle or left guard.
The Patriots gave up a third-round pick (No. 95 overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft to acquire Brown, as well a fifth-rounder (No. 143). The massive (6-8, 380-pounds) lineman is now in line to serve as the team's starting left tackle, replacing Nate Solder.
Brown should serve as depth at both guard and tackle this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could land in Cincinnati
OTFree Agent
March 18, 2024
Brown will meet with the Bengals on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Cincinnati has a hole at tackle after losing Jonah Williams in free agency, and Brown could be a solution. The 30-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Patriots, starting games at both left and right tackle, so he would bring both experience and flexibility to the Bengals offensive line.
