The Facts:
Brown has reached agreement, ESPN.com has learned, on a one-year contract to return to the Patriots. Financial details were not immediately available but the contract, which will be officially signed next week, is believed to be worth more than the league minimum. The 12-year veteran, who for years has been one of the premier slot receivers in the NFL, was avidly pursued by the New Orleans Saints in recent days.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brown, 33, was released by the Pats earlier in the offseason for salary cap considerations -- a move that brought sharp criticism. However, the team saved a considerable amount by releasing and then signing him more than two months later, after he rebuffed overtures from several teams that sought to sign him as a free agent.
