There's a report in the Boston Globe today that the services of veteran WR Troy Brown will not be required by the Patriots this season. Well, he hardly played this year and would be entering his 16th season.
Is he the kind of guy the Jets might want to bring in for training camp? He's tight with Mangini, who often references Troy those few times when he waxes nostalgic about his days in New England. It was Mangini who helped him become a decent defensive back during that Super Bowl run, remember. Of course his chances of making the team would be pretty slim. But having him around for a few months could pave the way to a spot on the coaching staff, if that's what he'd like. And it's not like he'd be getting millions. The Globe article said he was paid $820,000 last year, $435,000 of which was guaranteed.
So ... should the Jets go after him or not?

As a WR or a DB?
Ahhhhh, let me think for a second...that would be a NO! If we need a coach...lets get a coach, not an over the hill player future coach. But that's just my thought. :)
Can we please stop signing or even looking at Pats rejects?
Thanks.
