The Facts:
Brown’s representatives refused to field any questions regarding his future this weekend at the NFL Combine, adding to speculation that the 14-year veteran is leaning toward retirement. Sources close to the wide receiver indicated that was his preference following the AFC Championship Game loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Herald staffer John Tomase suggests, Brown spent the postseason like a man savoring his final fling. He led the charge onto the field during pregame introductions against the New York Jets in the wild card round, and ducked the media for all but two minutes of the playoffs. Had the Patriots won the Super Bowl, the belief around the team is that Brown would have walked away. The fact they fell just short leaves the door open a crack for his return, but that door appears to be closing.
