I see Edelman,Slater and Welker (since Brady freed up cap room) returning as WRs .........the rest of the WR roster will be between going for one of those 2 I mentioned above or multiple rookies vying for a spot.
Now did they actually say they are going to cut him or did they just repeat Bedard's story from yesterday that the odds are good that they are going to cut him? I checked all the usual subjects' Twitter feeds (Bedard, SMY, Jeff Howe, Mike Reiss, etc.) and no one has Tweeted that Lloyd is cut.
No offense, but I think you are reporting old news which is more informed speculation on Greg Bedard's part than actual facts.
He has a 3 million bonus due, so that decision will need to be made. CBS picks up on Bedard's charge of "erratic behavior", but here's the source and explanation.

They must be targeting a WR that they expect to be available in FA
With Demps' status up in the air, yes, you bring back your franchise's all-time best PR. He's also a football player who's willing to do whatever is necessary to help the team win. On any sort of reasonable deal, that's a guy that you keep around.Will they really bring back Edelman? The guy who has missed significant time every season?

If this is true, I'm giddy with delight. I've been pounding the table that Lloyd's skillset set is best suited as a 3rd down #3WR. A three down WR must be able to make plays with the ball in his possession...not fall down. A possession wide out with no deep ball threat that is incapable of creating YAC does not deserve a starting role on a team with championship aspirations.
Look at how Baltimore played NE. Bringing a safety in closer to the LOS, they were able to blow up the Pats short passing game (53% completion rate). Having a Lloyd type brings no extra attention.
the pats should make sure they have welker's signature before they jettison lloyd if signing welker is their intent.
