sorry to hear that. Was hoping he'd break into the 53 this year.

Seemed a great guy.

This comes as a pretty big surprise this early in the process...especially after we saw how much they paid him just to remain on the practice squad last season! By all accounts, he was progressing well, had bulked up nicely.

Don';t believe all the media hype!

That is kind of a shocker considering how many times he was practice player of the week. Something must have happened.

They must really like what they see from the other 3-4 OLBs. So, this is very good news. They probably released him so early to give him a shot with another team.

A practice squad player and 6th round draft choice from Central Arknsas got released - shouldn't be a big surprise, a shocker or disappointment.

It should teach players not to pass up a opportunity to join another team's 53 to stay on the Pats practice squad - you never know if you'll get another chance. Darryl Richard did that a few years ago and has never played an NFL game.

I wonder if those 20lb he put on this offseason was really muscle mass.

When a late round draft pick gets cut it usually shows why he was a late round draft pick to begin with......there are exceptions of course as many late rounders ended up HOFers,but most of the time reality shows the talent was minimal or borderline for the NFL.

Don't see this--If they saw potential, there is no risk to letting him compete (unless he were the last man on the roster and they need the spot). Injuries will happen and depth is a priority. I suspect they soured on his development progress for some reason.

Those who asked if #Patriots cut Markell Carter to make room for Andre Carter... not yet. Carter's rehab is going well, but nothing set yet
