really surprised by this, I thought he was doing well

TBC's contract terminated today.

Dunno much else, but posted by Reiss on Twitter.

Mike Reiss (MikeReiss) on Twitter

Re: TBC Cut??

This really makes little sense at all. Perhaps making room for a trade about to happen?

re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)

This strikes me as a odd move, could there be something going on behind the scenes with some of the defensive players?

re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)

Um, interesting?

Re: TBC Cut??

Looks like Reiss just tweeted it. His contract has been terminated today.

Help me out guys. Did he play that bad or had issues like AD? Or, do you think some resigning is on the works? Puzzling...

Or maybe a strategy to get the entire D notch it up several levels??

Re: TBC Cut??

That's what I was thinking, but it only saves the Patriots $25,000 against the cap.

re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)

Ever so slightly out of left field. Played a healthy number of snaps yesterday.

Re: TBC Cut??

all i can say is
anyone who thinks they know what the pats are thinking they are mistaken ..

Re: TBC Cut??

Given the timing, almost certainly a trade on the way.... who could we be getting?

Trade of Galloway for a LB perhaps?

Re: TBC Cut??

Holy Crap...

It has to be creating roster space for someone.. now this is a real head-scratcher...

I'm at a loss..

sage observation

re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)

Dunno. They still have to pay him... weird.

Re: TBC Cut??

Oh MAN! There has to be something in the works. I was so happy to have him back here too.

Re: TBC Cut??

I am buckling my seat belt and going to learn to enjoy this wild ride from now.

Let's see what BB has in store.

re: TBC's contract terminated (merged)

I am absolutely ASTONISHED. What is going on?

Re: TBC Cut??

Um, don't the Pats still have to pay him his contract? Bizarro.

Re: TBC Cut??

Banta-Cain was playing great for us. Something has to be going down, could we be seeing a trade for an OLB on the horizon? There has to be. Why else would you cut an OLB that has played well for you after a game which just saw Adalius Thomas deactivated? I don't know about the numbers, but imagine Merriman was on his way? LOL wow that would be awesome. Bill has been MUCH more aggressive without Pioli.
