Patriots Release Dominique Easley

[Kontradiction]

Well, that's that. He's either injured to the point where the team doesn't think he can ever return to form or he did something behind the scenes. Either way, the guy was talented when healthy but could not stay on the field. Very big draft bust. Further, who is going to be pushing the pocket this season at DT? This pretty much makes DL one of the team's top needs again.

I wish we kept Hicks now...

 

[varjao]

Why not at least try to trade him?

It should be something with criminal implications, so BB couldn't simply pass the problem to someone else.

I can't think about other possibilities, maybe he quit, but then the decision would have come from his side.

If it's doping he is still trade-able, it would worth the gamble for some other team. The same is true for behavior issues, locker room, etc..

Well i need to say the Pats project to have a worse chance to win it all now than they did 24 hours ago.

Also DT has jumped up to a big concern and with lack of cap room will need to be addressed in the draft high now for sure.

 

[TBR]

WHAT THE F*CK!?

 

[RobertWeathers]

I wish we kept Hicks now...

The question is...........when did the team start to consider cutting Easley?

 

[JackBauer]

He went to Florida. What else do you need to know? It's been a pipeline of failure and character concerns.

Hernandez, Spikes, Cunningham, Chad Jackson, Easley--who else am I missing?

Well, when you put it like that...

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Wow - even Jake Bequette lasted longer than Easley.

 

[JackBauer]

this is what happens when you draft guys with injury histories....sometimes it works, a la Gronkowski, but more often than not, it falls flat on its face - Easley, Dowling, etc....Pats always looking in the discount draft bins at bldg 19 - atta boy Krafty Bob!

Derpity derp derpy doo.

 

[Brady6]

I would expect that Easley is going to be charged with significant crime within the next 24-48 hours. He had trade value otherwise, there has to be a major reason for this.

 

[juny]

quick someone check easley's instaface, or twitface. maybe there is a clue there

[Brady_to_Moss]

Easley's knees are in pretty bad shape, and there's not a lot of room for improvement, per source. Still stunning timing for his release. per Howe

 

[sb1]

If he did something stupid... then he picked the wrong team to do it with.

[Froob]

But wouldn't IRing him be a lot cheaper?

 

[RobertWeathers]

Cunningham
Spikes
Jackson
Hernandez
Easley

F**K off, Florida

Did Chad Jackson have off-the field issues? Thought he just sucked?

More often than not, when you draft anybody it falls on its face. Such is the nature of the NFL draft. Put Curtis Martin alongside Gronk as one that that worked out very well.

Still doesn't seem like it explains enough, unless there is an injury settlement we don't know about. Even then unless he literally can't suit up anymore, I dunno why you'd do this now.
