The New England Patriots keeping filling out their coaching staff, but a few assistant positions remain unaddressed as of Wednesday morning. Among them is the wide receiver spot, which was last held by former Patriots wideout Troy Brown.
The Patriots have added an assistant wide receivers coach so far this offseason, fellow former WR Tiquan Underwood, but the top job has yet to be filled. How they will remains to be seen, but it appears that even adding somebody from the outside does not necessarily mean Brown’s days with the organization are numbered.
The 52-year-old, after all, “has an opportunity to stay if he desires,” according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.
