Caldwell cut - Page 3 - New England Patriots Forums

The one thing Caldwell could do was stay on the field. Time will tell whether the imported receivers will do the same.

Does releasing Caldwell mean that Asante has been activated and thus the roster exemption no longer exists or could Asante still practise without being activated? Someone help me with this.

Anyone else loving the irony here....

Tomase throws out his "suprise cut" BS... only to have no suprise cuts, so he has to lame-duck excuse his way out of it saying that it referred to Testeverde. Now BB cuts Caldewell. Maybe some of you are saying that isn't a suprise cut, but I find it more of a suprise that Vinny.

I just find it funny and ironic the way it all went down.

I'll never forget the violent hit Reche took against the Bengals. He was a good receiver for us and I hope he finds success with another team.

I liked Caldwell and appreciated what he did for the team in 2006 - much maligned despite being arguably the savior of the WR corps. Having said that...

To all the guys who kept insisting that he was way more valuable than Washington and that Washington's S/T play was non-existent and wouldn't put him over the top of Caldwell, you who kept willfully denying the FACT that Caldwell was consistently running with the 2's. Any thoughts?

There's about three hundred pages of crow to be eaten around here....none by me thankfully, though I was looking at some recipes.

Best of luck to Reche. He was a tribute to hard work last year.

BS. In the Carolina game Reche was playing with he first team just as much as Washington.

None the less he's been cut, I was wrong. I appreciate what he did for us in 06 and hope he finds a new team before the season starts.

I think no Pats fans should have any ill-will towards Reche. He brought a lot to the table last year and we would have been screwed if he didn't step up.

I do get somewhat worried having only 1 receiver on the team who has a year in the system though. I would have kept Reche purely because of experience.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him back, but we are receiver rich now.

I had the same thoughts. I'm not sure on the drop theory. It that was the case, why keep him this long? I think he just got outplayed. I wouldn't be surprised to see Vinny back too.
