Patriots release former first-round pick Dominique Easley

Dominique Easley has been released by the Patriots. A first-round pick in 2014, Easley came to the league dogged by injury concerns and his first two seasons in the NFL ended on injured reserve.​

WTF.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Welp, the worst pick BB ever made.

Wow.

 

[2000army]

I bet it with an injury designation

 

[Dexter]

There must be some crazy story behind it.

 

[BelichickFan]

In addition to losing the player, it's a $1.6M cap hit assuming I'm reading Miguel's site correctly.

 

[sieglo]

Holy crap.

 

[Simple Jack's Brother]

They must know something about his medical situation we don't know. There's no other reason you give up on a first round pick after 2 seasons (save an Aaron Hernandez situation).

 

[Uncle Rico]

Well bleepity bleep

 

[Froob]

What the ****

 

[hornetfb85]

Yep there is definitely more to the story after I looked at his cap hit for cutting him.

 

[meatface]

This is definitely surprising.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Didn't see this one coming.

What a shame.

Sonofab.tch.

Curran is saying more to come..... He's either seriously injured or he did something very, very bad. With only 5 draft picks next year, no way you can't at least get a conditional 7th for a former first round pick.

 

[sb1]

Holy cow.

I'm sure we will know soon what the reason was and I bet it's a doozy.

 

[Marqui]

Oh My God
F***

 

[Froob]

Is it possible BB drafted him with the intention to cut him two years later as a message?

 

[AtomicDawg]

Holy crap! He played well when healthy and in the lineup. I guess "when healthy" is the keyword. Wow.

 

[chasa]

wow.

like.

wow. holy ****.
