The first major move by the Patriots this off-season, and it’s a big one, Trent Brown is back!
First broke by RapSheet this morning, the team is bringing back the giant lineman to bolster their already strong offensive front. Brown, who stands at 6’8, 380lbs, returns to New England following his one-year stint with the team back in 2018 when he helped the Patriots win their sixth Super Bowl championship.
After the Super Bowl win, Brown left in free agency and was made the highest-paid offensive lineman by the Raiders. However, he was only able to get through half of his four-year $66M contract before the trade was agreed to this week.
I’m excited by this, not a position I thought we’d address much this off-season given the building blocks we already have, but Brown, if committed, is an animal and could help form one of the most formidable lines in the league. Pats gave up a fifth and gained a Seventh, both in next year’s Draft, so in reality, they didn’t give up a whole bunch. Brown will once again be a free agent following the 2021 season with the team, leaving the door open for another payday.
Seems like the big guy is happy to be back….
