FOXBORO, Mass., May 23 (UPI) -- The New England Patriots Monday re-signed wide receiver Troy Brown, who was released in March when the team declined to pay his $2.5 million roster bonus.
Details of the new one-year deal were not disclosed, but it was believed to involve far less money than it would have been with the bonus.
The 12-year veteran, who was an eighth-round draft pick out of Marshall in 1993, also served as a punt returner and defensive back last season and has helped the Patriots win three Super Bowl titles during the past four years.
He caught only 17 passes for 184 yards with one touchdown during 2004, but had three interceptions as a nickel back.
He holds the franchise single-season record with 101 receptions set in 2001, the club's first Super Bowl winning campaign.
