Pats release Loyd
The Patriots released linebacker Jeremy Loyd today. He was originally signed May 8 and was a longshot to make the 53-man roster.
Loyd spoke last week about how he had just attended the Dolphins' minicamp on a tryout when the Patriots called to work him out. He expressed excitement about joining the team after signing a one-year deal.
In 14 career games with the Rams, all of Loyd's playing time came on special teams. He had entered the league as a rookie free agent in 2003 out of Iowa State.
Loyd had been working as a weakside inside linebacker in New England's offseason program. Tedy Bruschi, Monty Beisel, Ryan Claridge, Barry Gardner, Eric Alexander, Larry Izzo, Don Davis and rookie free agents Freddie Roach and Corey Mays are other players on the Patriots' roster at inside linebacker. Mike Vrabel also has experience at that position.
