Patriots make change at QB, tell O'Connell he's released - Reiss' Pieces - Boston.com

Can't believe they actually did it...thought they might milk the battle for backup until the last possible moment.

Somewhere in New England, a man named Hoyer is breathing a bit more easily for the moment.

Might need a tranquilizer dart to calm his celebration down...

Is this the huge surprise that I'm thinking it is? 3rd Round pick and dumped the next year

does he have any practice squad eligibility in case he actually might still be around after all the cuts and in case nobody is interested?

Presto! Instant roster spot. I'm not sure it's Hoyer's either.

Yeah, its an unprecedented move in the Belichick era. Cutting a 3rd rounder in year two, I mean. I wonder if they've got anybody on their radar. Thigpen?

Not if Belichick is sober.
