The New England Patriots and Trent Brown are headed for a split, at least if the veteran offensive tackle himself is to be believed. Appearing on Sirius XM NFL Radio earlier this weekend, Brown claimed that “I think we’re both looking in different directions” heading into free agency.
Brown, 30, is scheduled to enter the open market on Wednesday after his contract with the Patriots voided in mid-February. As an unrestricted free agent will be subject to the legal tampering period starting Monday at noon.
Even if he leaves, which seems likely, Brown will remain on the Patriots’ books for 2024.
