The only surprise about reports saying Kenny Britt will sign with the New England Patriots is that it took this long for the union to happen.
Britt, who was released last week by the Cleveland Browns, is finalizing a two-year deal to join the Patriots' receiving corps, according to ESPN's Field Yates and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Patriots love to take chances on veterans discarded by other losing teams and seemingly on their final opportunity to experience a winning culture.
Britt, a ninth-year pro and former first-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans, certainly fits the bill,after he didn't even make it through one season of a four-year, $32.
