The Facts:
A source close to the veteran wide receiver said Brown hasn't made a decision about whether he'll try to return for a 16th season, and that an announcement is not expected soon. The source close to Brown indicated it shouldn't be assumed that the choices for Brown, a free agent, are returning to the Patriots or retiring.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Most had assumed Brown, the Patriots' all-time leader with 557 receptions, would quietly retire following a season in which he didn't catch a pass, played in just one game, and wasn't active for the Super Bowl. The Patriots already have seven receivers under contract -- including C.J. Jones, who spent last season on the practice squad -- after officially announcing the re-signing of Jabar Gaffney yesterday.
