It was a mistake, just as the Merriweather cut was a mistake. They weren't necessarily mistakes based upon the players themselves. They were mistakes because of what was replacing them.
I agree that Merriweather was one of the more talented and physical DBs on the Patriots when he was let go two years ago But Merriweather was released for a host of reasons: his on-field lack of discipline and unnecessary penalties, his purple Camaro, and his off-field behavior with guns and booze and unsavory characters.
All of the shenanigans continued in Chicago, and he couldn't handle being criticized by Lovey Smith. His brief tenure in DC hasn't been any better. The guy was a headache and wasn't worth the distractions he created.
