Donald Brown's blitz pickup, ball security could be valuable to Patriots

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots officially signed running back Donald Brown on Thursday, finalizing a one-year agreement that had been struck earlier in the week. The contract includes $250,000 in bonuses and guarantees.

Brown joins a running back group that includes Dion Lewis (recovering from a torn ACL), James White, Tyler Gaffney, Joey Iosefa and Brandon Bolden, and is likely to be supplemented at some point in the team-building process, whether through free agency, the draft or a trade.
