Patriots Cuts: Boyce, Bequette, Worthy, Beauharnais...

[Deus Irae]

Wasn't expecting Halapio to be cut. Hope this doesn't affect the number of NFL teams competing to hire me for their front office.

I'm stunned to see that the Patriots have cut a future HOF center so casually in his rookie season.

 

[Bruins29]

I like Tyns and hope he sticks although there is a deep crew of WR. Tyms certainly has the attitude you like to see, one that many of the great WRs had.

 

[50-yard-line]

Much as I hate Boyce being cut (make that, as much as I hate Boyce being such a disappointment), you have to feel good that a guy like Tyms can walk in, play with that kind of fire and determination and get a nice payday, at least.

Good for him. Tyms, Butler and Swanson have been the three pleasant surprises for me this summer. Sucks that Swanson will probably be cut free, but I expect him to be in the NFL this year.

Boyce was such a big disappointment. Glad to see Tyns hang around for a little while, he really showed promise. Going to be interesting to see get's cut from the running backs and the defensive line.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

The patriots assistants tried to pass a garbage bag full of boyces stuff to him, but he couldnt get open.

I count my roster to 55 every time. There are going to be some sad cuts. I'm hoping for another Mankins-like trade for future assets.

@Patriots will lose $378,176 in cap space for carrying Brian Tyms on their roster during his suspension.

Pats must like Tyms a decent amount then

Seriously, that's not throwaway money. But when three of your WRs are coming back from injuries, you take a chance like this (free roster spot for WR depth) and just go with it.

I also have no doubt someone like Cleveland will be picking up Boyce

The first big one:

Mike Reiss ‏@MikeReiss
The Patriots have informed WR Josh Boyce that he has been waived.

He struggled since day 1

 

[Triumph]

Ironically, Boyce was probably the most popular pick of that draft on this board.

And rookie training camp rumors were that he shined.

Christopher Price ‏@cpriceNFL
Patriots cut Dax Swanson, per @RavensInsider.


Jeff Howe ‏@jeffphowe
Pats have cut Dax Swanson with the notion he could return to the practice squad, per source.

Doug Kyed ‏@DougKyedNESN
Have been told he could be a practice squad candidate. RT @RavensInsider: Patriots cut Dax Swanson, according to a source

Look for him to get attention from K.C., NYJ and DAL.

Those were the three teams that immediately came to my mind too.

Especially the Green Beans.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Just as a clarification: that ~$400K number Miguel cites is the pro-rated 13/17 of his $495K salary that Tyms will receive if he remains on the roster the rest of the season. If the Pats release him at the end of the suspension, there's essentially zero cap hit.

the jest......if the pats cut the cheese the jest would pick it up.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Ironically, Boyce was probably the most popular pick of that draft on this board.

Actually, Dobson was and continues to be my favorite pick from that draft. I did have high hopes for Boyce though, but I think the playbook was his biggest obstacle, which is weird considering how smart Boyce is (according to Belichick). BB's struggles drafting WRs continues.

Oliver Thomas ‏@OliverBThomas
According to @shalisemyoung, defensive end Jake Bequette and linebacker Steve Beauharnais have been released by Patriots.

Ok, had Beauharnais on the roster. The first loss on the scoreboard for me.

 

[Marinlik]

Sorry @fnordcircle. Bequette is no more. The star has fallen, the flag is at half mast. The baguette has been released.

 

[BritPat]

SMY reporting Beuharnais and Bequette gone....

I'm thinking the same thing. The talent left is 45 man roster caliber. That means trades for future picks.
