According to my sources.

Is this a serious reason or are u just being ironic? I really don't know...

Assuming you are serious though, do u mean 54 man roster or PS?

If the media can use it, so can I. You know they're ripping each other off any way. That's how they all just happen to get the same information from "their sources "within minutes of each other.

Anyways, my sources say Wheatley to Jags' active roster and McKenzie to Bucs' PS.

If you are going to steal shameless cliches from the media, you should steal the most shameless one from ESPN and stated the the news as:

"BadMoFo has learned that McKenzie signs with Bucs, Wheatley with Jags" Or "BadMoFo is reporting McKenzie signs with Bucs, Wheatley with Jags"

Makes sense for McKenzie, isn't his family from Florida?

I can't wait for my first, "The signings were first reported by badmofo of patsfans.com."

That one, I think, is the tackiest. Giving your competition credit. Screw them. You don't see the real news media using it, well except the Web sites.

Sad about both, I was hoping they would get healthy and contribute down the line. I wish them the best of luck.

Yes, that's what this whole thing was about. He needs to be near family, because that's his first priority. The Pats accommodated him. Good for both.

Wheatley looked good in preseason....

I found this part interesting:

Former Patriots find new homes - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

McKenzie had previously declined an opportunity to join a team's 53-man roster, as he carefully weighed his options in search of what he felt was the right fit. McKenzie attended the University of South Florida, which is located in Tampa, so this is a homecoming of sorts for him.

He had the chance to join a 53-man roster but declined to join the Bucs practice squad.

Several posters called out McKenzie for taking the "easy" way out and basically quitting because it was hard to make the roster, but that's clearly not the case. He's looking for the right fit, and hopefully he's found it.

 

[MossWelkowski]

Damn!...

Remember when wheatley made the great play in the regul...


oh wait.. he never played!

 

[mgteich]

WOW

So, McKenzie doesn't want to play for the patriots and Belichick just lets him go?

I don't know what to make of it really. It's just unusual. I thought he would have signed with whoever offered him a 53-man roster spot though.

 

[Sciz]

McKenzie showed in college that he was very dedicated to his family, and now that seems to be getting in the way of his NFL career.

I don't think you can trade guys on the practice squad, and even if you could the trading deadline has passed.

What's Belichick going to do, lock him in a room with Three Games To Glory on an endless loop until McKenzie comes around?

 

[Patjew]

Wow, weird case. Good luck to the man.

 

[blackglass3]

If I run into McKenzie one day down here, I will ask him what happened.
