The Patriots agreed to a one-year contract with Brown on Saturday, hours after the Raiders released the star receiver. New England gave Brown a $9 million signing bonus, and he could earn up to $15 million this season.
Now, Brown possibly could earn even more as a Patriot.

Brown asked the Raiders to release him Saturday in an Instagram post after the Raiders voided $29.125 million in contract guarantees due to conduct detrimental to the team.
