That wouldn't be the end of the world, and is unlikely considering the preseason Gramatica's had so far.

Also, I'm sure Gramatica won't get picked up right away. And even if he was, there would still be Edinger and Cundiff and Peterson available.

Well I'm still more nervous and you can't stop me

Thanks Martin - I thought it was a big joke when you were signed in the off-season, but you proved me and a lot of other people wrong. Good luck with your next team (unless it's against the Pats, of course).

Good luck Gramatica.
And so, the era of the ghost begins.

What was it someone said after the draft?
"The Ghost - So accurate, it's scary" Something like that.

I am glad that they made a decision this soon, particularly because it was the rookie that they went with.

In hindsight it seems that this was a "gradually turn up the pressure" type deal.

1) Share KOs and FGs
2) Play a game entirely on your own
3) Play the next game knowing that you are "It"

The more games that he can be given without the safety net, the better IMHO.

Kudos to Bill Belichick again. The vets understand and appreciate these actions that help a vet to catch on elsewhere. I'm sure that they all recognize what has happened.

Good Luck Martin. you have resurrected your career, here with the Patriots.

Patriots-80 had it right, a chance for Martin to catch on with another team. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Probably Miami, then the writers can site another example of how good Miami has gotten.

Okay I laughed out loud in my very quiet office when I read this

i still would of liked to of seen gots kick in some weather.. but we'll see..

I'm pretty surprised it all went down so suddenly. IMO, Gramatica looked like the better kicker in the first preseason game. He should land with another team before opening day.
