Kyle Van Noy might not be the only ex-Patriots defensive lineman on the move this week.
The Saints are taking trade calls on Malcom Brown, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, as he enters the final year of his deal in New Orleans. The 27-year-old is on the books for $6.4 million in 2021 and the cash-strapped Saints could save almost $5 million by moving on from him.
New England’s first-round pick in 2015, Brown won a pair of Super Bowls with the Patriots before departing as a free agent. A reunion could make sense at the right price, as New England is thin on the defensive line and Adam Butler and Lawrence Guy are both unrestricted free agents.
