WR Britt reportedly agrees to deal with Patriots
Dec 13, 2017 - 12:54 AM Kenny Britt is getting another shot, and with the defending Super Bowl champions no less.Britt, a veteran wide receiver who was waived by the Cleveland Browns last Friday, visited with the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., on Tuesday and agreed to a two-year deal with the Patriots, according to multiple reports.
The 29-year-old was a first-round pick in 2009 out of Rutgers, a school Patriots coach Bill Belichick has shown affinity for throughout the years. New England currently has three former Rutgers players -- Devin McCourty, Duron Harmon and Jonathan Freeney -- on its active roster.

Last season, Britt logged his first career 1,000-yard season with the Los Angeles Rams, collecting a career-high 68 receptions for 1,002 yards and five scores. He had a career-best nine touchdown catches in 2010 with Tennessee, where he spent his first five NFL seasons from 2009 to 2013.
New England (10-3) currently sits atop the AFC East and is prepping for a major showdown with AFC rival Pittsburgh (11-2) on Sunday.
