The Patriots signed Brown as a free agent after he was let go by the Oakland Raiders—who had traded a third and fifth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the All-Pro wide receiver.
He played in the Patriots Week 2, 43-0 blowout of the Miami Dolphins where he finished with four catches, 56 yards and one touchdown.
Unlike his departure from the Bay Area, Brown’s release this time comes on the heels of more serious allegations of misconduct than helmet grievances, frozen feet, or confrontation with upper management. Since joining the Patriots, two women have accused Brown of sexual misconduct and lewd behavior.
For his part, Brown took the news in stride, and even broke it on his twitter account in a series of tweets:
Thank you for the opportunity @Patriots #GoWinIt

After a one-game, 11-day stint with the defending Super Bowl champions Brown will become a free agent again. It remains to be seen if a third team will take a chance on him.
