Pats release Malik Cunningham

[holyredeemer]

That was over before it started. Trey Flowers released as well per patriots.com. Amazing how quickly things change around here. Bill goes from on the precipice of being fired to a long term deal, Mac goes from having his job in danger by an udfa to secure for the year in a blink. All it took was one victory over the Bills. Go figure. Lol!

 

[Guts]

Damn after signing an extension too lol

Not that I figured he’d become a HoFer, but I thought the good vibes were an indication they thought there was something there.

Too bad about Flowers. Guess they either didn’t need him or his recovery wasn’t going well. Also Cunningham probably going back to the PS if he makes it there.

A little different perspective than the one found on this site:

What a weird year at the backup QB spot.

It never was in danger this season but that said a lot more more about the alternatives than about him.

What’s the different perspective? I’m also not entirely buying the protecting him take. Why would they elevate him to protect him just to risk having the other team have a chance to get him anyways? Is there something I’m not aware of here?

There is no way anyone signs him to active squad. He can't start as QB and is a project at wr.

Patriots pretty confident they can land him on PS.

What was the point of playing him against the saints then?

Cunny never threw a pass.

Too funny.

Maybe a message to Zappe?

I agree. I was just trying to poke fun at how little we all really know.

He's the most durable QB aside from Brady... Mac gets hammered but keeps in going

Cutting him wasn't enough?

He'll be back for sure.. typical BB roster maneuvers...

Yes exactly wich makes no sense all they had to do was revert him back to the PS? I forgot Flowers was even on this team

 

[SlowGettingUp]

They couldn't elevate him for the Saints game as they had two other elevations that game. So they had to sign someone to the 53, and maybe they did that knowing they would cut him later as he'd pass through waivers whereas the other might not.

They also likely need a spot for Reagor - he's had the maximum number of elevations. So basically this likely ends up a swap of Reagor for Cunningham.

Too funny.

Your prediction that Zappe will take over the starter role for good by week 5 is looking good. Must be that 2-0 record last year and that one time he threw a pass at the combine…
