The Facts:
The Patriots are prepared to part ways with Brown, as the team is not planning to offer its all-time leader in receptions a contract for the 2008 season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Globe, citing a source with knowledge of the situation, went on to report that out of courtesy to Brown, the Patriots recently informed the 15-year veteran, who is a free agent, that he was not in their immediate plans and that if he was interested in returning for a 16th NFL season he was free to field offers from other teams. It's unclear if the 36-year-old Brown, who has played his entire career with the Patriots, is planning to play another season -- although other teams have reportedly expressed interest.
