Uncertainty Surrounds Trent Brown's Future with Patriots After Minicamp

The New England Patriots ended their minicamp early with a team-building outing, but the situation with starting left tackle Trent Brown casts a cloud over the team. Brown missed Monday's mandatory workout and only participated in one period of Tuesday's practice before being sent down for conditioning work. With a $12.25M cap hit and $3M in guaranteed salary, Brown's situation is tough for Belichick to stomach. The Patriots are stuck between preparing to move on without Brown or relying on him despite his lack of conditioning and unforced errors during games.
