FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Running back Donald Brown isn’t at the same point of his career when he could command a three-year, $10.5 million contract in free agency, as was the case two years ago in San Diego. This is also different from 2009, when he entered the NFL as a highly touted first-round draft choice in Indianapolis.
Brown arrived in New England this year on a modest one-year deal, and will compete for a roster spot at a position that could still be bolstered in the draft.
