After a wild day of players being cut from teams all over the league, I have attempted to compile a list of all the players the Patriots have cut or released this offseason. If any players are missing, please comment so I can add them.

PUP and IR


  • Kevin Faulk, RB

  • Ron Brace, DL

  • Brandon Deaderick, DL

  • Rich Ohrnberger, OL

  • Marcus Cannon, OL


Cuts:

  • Jonathan Crompton, QB

  • Eric Kettani, RB

    • He is moving to the practice squad



  • Sammy Morris, RB

    • Even though Morris did everything right there just wasn't any room for him. I wish Morris the best



  • Richard Medlin, RB

  • Thomas Clayton, RB

  • Brandon Tate, WR

    • Tate could never get it together (like another player with the first name Brandon..)



  • Buddy Farnham, WR

  • Darnell Jenkins, WR

  • Jeremy Ross, WR

  • Tyree Barnes, WR

  • Tiquan Underwood, WR

  • Alge Crumpler, TE

  • Carson Butler, TE

  • Garrett Mills, TE

  • Lee Smith, TE

    • Yeatman beat Smith out



  • Will Yeatman, TE

    • I surprised by this cut, but Yeatman will be moving to the practice squad



  • Chris Morris, C

  • Corey Woods, OL

  • Jonathan Compas, OL

  • Kyle Hix, OL

  • Mark LeVoir, OL

  • Mark Wetterer, OL

  • Mike Berry, OL

  • Nick Kaczur, OL

  • Steve Maneri, OL

  • Zack Roth, OL

  • Chris Koepplin, K

  • James Dearth, LS

  • Matt Katula, LS

  • Aaron Lavarias, DE

  • Clay Nurse, DL

  • Darryl Richard, DL

    • Another player cut because there was no room, Richard should be picked up by another team soon with his strong camp this offseason



  • Eric Moore, DE

    • Moore made my 53 man roster so this cut came as a surprise.



  • Aaron Lavarlas, DL

  • Gerard Warren, DL

  • Kade Weston, DL

  • Landon Cohen, DL

  • Marcus Stroud, DL

  • Steve Williams, DL

  • Ryan Coulson, DE

  • Markell Carter, DE

    • I was on the Carter Train this offseason, but the switch from 3-4 to 4-3 hurt him and thus he isn't with us anymore



  • Ty Warren, DE

  • Marlon Favorite, DT

  • Anthony Leonard, LB

  • Christian Cox, LB

  • Niki Koutouvides, LB

  • Ricky Brown, LB

  • Tully Banta-Cain, OLB

  • Darius Butler, CB

  • Jonathan Wilhite, CB

  • Thad Turner, CB

  • Tony Cater, CB

  • Brandon McGowan, DB

  • Malcolm Williams, DB

  • Ross Ventrone, DB

  • Brandon Meriweather, S

    • I could go days ranting about Meriweather and Darius Butler...



  • Bret Lockett, S

    • Multiple news organizations say he will be put on IR once he clears waivers



  • James Sanders, S

    • Not a flashy or special player, Sanders was an above average player
