Where are you looking? Under "transactions," it's showing no player releases (or additions) since 9/4.

Well we can say Reggie Wayne is no genius

Reggie is saying the the Pats are too tough and 'not fun'. I seem to remember the team having lots of fun when we won the SB last season....train hard, play hard, win hard!

Unlikely. That was my speculation all along, $450,000 for a couple weeks' assistance with some wiggle room for each side in the event he actually makes the team.

It's confounding. How does a player sign a contract, get a signing bonus ask to be released but allowed to keep the signing bonus?

I'm not doubting and who knows what is in the CBA but I'm having a real hard time getting my brain around that one.

Apparently after his first practice session, he called it "hell"

Didn't Joseph Addai experience something similar? Anyone still wonder why the Colts couldn't seem to make it over the hump?

Must be the Pats cheating, yeah, that's the ticket.

Not sure how that brings them to 53 when everyone else has them at 54..

Brandon King and Jalen Saunders are two names not mentioned previously.

EDIT: Missed Dax Swanson. Thanks Ash..

Look at the school he went to. They don't exactly pump Rhode Scholars out of there.

#Patriots waived WR Jalen Saunders.

I read somewhere that the Indy play book was quite simple and their focus was on execution. The Pats system must have seemed overwhelming

Yes. I had read the same thing.

Jeff Howe@jeffphowe
Pats released Jalen Saunders, Brandon King and Daxton Swanson to get to 53.

Swanson not mentioned before either, looks like they are going into the regular season with four corners and six safeties.

I was just going to post the same thing. Too tough? Gronk and Edelman must have laughed in his face. Too tough. Yeah Reggie, that's why your only Super Bowl was against a QB with a rating of 7.

Chump, and boy, to me this impacts how I view him. Loser.

OUCH.. Pretty bad when Volin put something out:


Ben Volin ✔ @BenVolin
#Patriots paid Wayne $450k for 11 days of work. I heard he wasn’t fitting in with the “Patriot Way” culture

Yep.. you're right.. I missed it because it wasn't highlighted..

Rufus and Eric Johnson made it?
Something is cooking in the trade realm

All 3 of Lombardi's "Guys" Dion Lewis Rufus Johnson Eric Martin make the initial roster.

Michael "Vince" Lombardi

And 7 EDGE rushers. I didn't expect that.

Defintely could see trading jones..he's about to get expensive. Lots of cheap rookies in the wings.

They do have McCourty who can play both I suppose.

And four TEs. We're going to see some interest offensive sets until LaFell returns.
