| Pats announce early training camp schedule »
Hey all -- Confirming a move first reported by friend Dan Pires of the New Bedford Standard-Times weeks ago, the Patriots today announced the signing of 36-year old linebacker Chad Brown for a second stint with the team. The team also released three players: veteran cornerback Antwain Spann, veteran wide receiver Jonathan Smith and rookie tight end Jake Nordin. Brown was with New England for the 2005 season, recording 54 tackles. He was cut by the team after training camp last year and returned to Pittsburgh, where he began his career in 1993. The three-time Pro Bowler will give depth to a linebacking corps in which every starter will be age 30 by the start of the regular season. With the depth at their respective positions, Smith and Nordin were very long shots to make the roster; Spann was signed off the practice squad for eight regular season games and was on the team for the three postseason contests.
