Brown, 33, was the Super Bowl champions' most versatile player last season, when he also played cornerback and returned punts.
On defense, he had three interceptions and 17 tackles.
Brown, who was an eighth-round draft pick out of Marshall in 1993, is the third player to be released by the Patriots this off-season, joining cornerback Ty Law and linebacker Roman Phifer.
