Brown has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Seahawks, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Brown is coming off a 2023 campaign that saw him tally 208 yards and one touchdown on 13 receptions for the Patriots. Seattle will be his fifth city across seven seasons. The journeyman will presumably compete for the backup tight end role behind Noah Fant (hand).

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Logs 13 catches in 2023
Rotowire
Brown finished the 2023 season with 13 catches (on 15 targets) for 208 yards and a touchdown in 17 games with the Patriots.
Brown, who turns 30 in May, carved out a niche in the Patriots offense this past season alongside fellow TEs Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki, making his mark as a run blocker, while also logging six receptions that resulted in 15-plus yard gains, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. Brown is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and should be able to land another opportunity to work in a complementary role in 2024, be it in New England or elsewhere.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Active for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Brown (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Brown, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, approached the contest listed as questionable, but he'll be able to give it a go in the Patriots' season finale. With Hunter Henry (knee) sidelined Sunday, Mike Gesicki and Brown are slated to lead the team's Week 18 TE corps, but Brown hasn't caught more than two passes in any of the 16 games that he's suited up for this season, so he's only a fantasy option in the deepest of formats.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Chance to play Week 18
Rotowire
Brown (ribs) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Brown likely suffered a ribs injury during New England's Week 17 loss to the Bills, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week, and he has a chance to play Sunday. The 29-year-old saw his highest snap share of the season (68 percent) in last Sunday's loss, and he could have the opportunity to see increased work on a Patriots offense that's without Hunter Henry (knee) again in Week 18.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: One catch Sunday
Rotowire
Brown caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.
With Hunter Henry (knee) sidelined for the second straight game, Brown and Mike Gesicki both logged 36 of a possible 53 snaps on offense Sunday. However, it was Gesicki who did more in the passing game, catching four of his six targets for 35 yards. As the Patriots' season finale against the Jets approaches, Brown is off the fantasy lineup radar, with an overall 12-208-1 receiving line through 16 games.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Brown has been deemed questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a foot injury.
Brown wasn't listed on the Patriots' injury report until Saturday, so it's unclear when the foot issue cropped up. The veteran tight end regularly logs about half of New England's offensive snaps, but his work as a pass catcher has been limited. Over his past five games, Brown has totaled just one catch on one target for four yards.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Active for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Brown (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
After missing practice Wednesday, Brown returned to limited sessions Thursday and Friday prior to being listed as questionable for Week 9 action. The tight end will be out there Sunday, but given that he continues to work in a time-share with Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki, Brown's weekly fantasy upside is limited.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown didn't practice Wednesday due to a back injury.
Brown logged 21 of the Patriots' 53 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, catching both of his targets for 33 yards. Now that the tight end has missed Wednesday's practice, he'll have two more chances to return to the field ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders. If Brown is able to suit up this weekend, he'll continue to work in a timeshare at tight end with Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Catches two passes Sunday
Rotowire
Brown played 21 of 53 snaps on offense and caught both of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Brown, who now has four catches for 84 yards over his last two outings, actually out-snapped Mike Gesicki (15 snaps, two catches) Sunday, but with Hunter Henry (31 snaps, three catches) also in the mix, he's involved in a timeshare at tight end that limits his weekly fantasy ceiling.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Scores TD versus Jets
Rotowire
Brown caught both of his targets for 71 yards and a TD in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.
Though Brown, who logged 25 snaps Sunday, saw less playing time than fellow TEs Hunter Henry (62 snaps) and Mike Gesicki (34), the 58-yard score that the 29-year-old recorded in the second quarter of the contest resulted in him being the Patriots' leading Week 3 receiver in terms of yardage. Given that Brown didn't catch any passes during the team's first two contests, he's not a high-percentage fantasy option as long as Henry and Gesicki remain available.

Patriots' Pharaoh Brown: Joins Patriots
Rotowire
New England signed Brown to its 53-man roster Monday.
Brown joins Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki on the Patriots' tight end depth chart ahead of Week 1 versus Philadelphia. As the latter is recovering from an AC joint injury, Brown could see an increased workload in Week 1.

Pharaoh Brown: Gets practice squad spot
Rotowire
Brown joined the Patriots' practice squad Wednesday.
Brown spent the offseason and training camp with the Colts before ultimately becoming a victim to final roster cuts. Prior to Indianapolis, the veteran had stints with the Raiders and Browns. All-in-all he has recorded 478 yards and two touchdowns on 51 receptions across 55 regular season games. He will now attempt to adapt to things in New England as quickly as possible.

The Colts released Brown on Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: No injury designation
Rotowire
Brown doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Brown returned to practice Friday as a full participant after being sidelined Thursday due to an illness. The backup tight end has caught five of 10 targets for 45 yards across eight appearances since joining Cleveland midway through the 2022 campaign.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: Starts for Njoku
Rotowire
Brown caught his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Texans.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson wasn't the only member of the Browns returning to the stadium where he once played. Brown, who was released by the Texans earlier this season, was in the starting lineup as a replacement for the injured David Njoku (knee) and played 40 snaps, the most he's had since joining the Browns in Week 5. Watson hadn't played a regular-season game since 2020, so they deployed a run-heavy scheme, which called for a tight end like Brown with elite blocking skills. He's caught five of 10 targets for 45 yards in eight games for Cleveland.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: Moves up depth chart
Rotowire
Brown was not targeted over 25 snaps in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals.
Brown moved up to second on the tight end depth chart due to David Njoku (ankle) being inactive, and his snap count was his highest since joining the Browns. Cleveland was able to run its offense, which meant a low-volume passing attack that resulted in no tight ends being targeted.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Brown (concussion/neck) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Bengals, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
Brown didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to a concussion, but he logged a limited session Saturday and still has a chance to suit up Monday. With David Njoku (ankle) already ruled out, Harrison Bryant is in line to be Cleveland's top tight end, but if Brown is also unavailable, Miller Forristall or Zaire Mitchell-Paden will likely be elevated from the practice squad.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: Still not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Brown (concussion/neck) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cleveland's injury report won't come out until Saturday since the Browns will play Monday in Week 8, but back-to-back absences from practice don't bode well for Brown's chances of suiting up. He'll still need to pass the NFL's concussion protocol before being cleared to play. With David Njoku (ankle) in line to be out, Harrison Bryant is the only healthy tight end on Cleveland's roster at the moment.

Browns' Pharaoh Brown: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Brown was added to the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Brown was removed from the Cleveland's Week 7 loss to Baltimore with what was initially described as a neck injury. He was evaluated for a concussion and now is part of the protocol, joining teammates Denzel Ward and Joe Haeg. The Browns are expected to be without David Njoku (ankle) in their Week 8 game against the Bengals on Monday and could be without Brown, too, potentially leaving Harrison Bryant as their primary tight end.
