Mike Lombardi stated on NFLN yesterday that there are some key players throughout the league that have significant injuries. He also stated that he wasn't going to throw out any names because he was unable to confirm the injuries, but said that people should not be shocked by injuries.

So will the PUP list still be around?

However, this changes things for the Patriots and they will almost certainly be in the market for an outside linebacker when free agency opens within the week

Naive Shalise, hahaha.

so, do you think this will this push them to sign a legit OLB for insurance? isn't our OLB depth thin as it is already?

You're probably right.

I bet we'll see a couple of UDFA OLBs, they'll come here since its the best scenario for one of them since the competition/depth for the pats OLBs is a joke. Hopefully one can shine.

just release him, or negotiate him to a cap number to as close to 1 million as possible.
