I hope the Pats asked for their $450k back.

Colts great couldn't hack it on the Patriots. That might explain some recent scorelines.

Wtf? You get half a million dollars in a signing bonus and then retire? That's kinda f***ed up if true.

If Wayne asked for release and retires … he might be volunteering to give back that signing bonus.

@RapSheet: As you’d imagine, retirement is a strong possibility for Reggie Wayne. And he wouldn’t do it in a #Patriots uniform. #Colts.

LOL

It was an honor to cut Reggie Wayne. Something I have ways wanted to do.

Best gimmick twitter account evah. He's better than you.

@jeffphowe: I wonder if the Colts will hang a "Cost Patriots $450,000 in 2015 cap money" banner.

Even though Wayne leaving is a disappointment, it just means my boi Harper has a better shot!

There's a lot of potential for mirth with that one.

Reggie Wayne was a sleeper spy sent by Irsay to take cap space from the Patriots.

You heard it here first.

No way he pockets the whole thing if he asked for his release.

Nah BB is a big boy he knew the upside and downside.

Gotta disagree with you here.. I still feel bringing him in was a great move. Even if it was for a week and a half to show the younger guys the type of commitment you need to make to be successful.

Ah ****...now they have our playbook

I don't like players with prior rap sheets who get a nice, multi-year contract with the Pats after 3 or 4 good behavior months, then show up to camp overweight and fail the conditioning test.

Kinda puts Gray's onetime 10 minutes late to a meeting in perspective.

Rob, I do respect your opinion and understand it. However, Branch has been particularly good at that either. Teams were still able to run the ball at will with him in games. Now, I will admit there are other factors obviously, but it does not really change my opinion that he's underwhelming. He did not pass his physical on top of the lackadaisical play. I think his size and BB's preference to keep depth at the position (unlike 2013, IIRC) will be the prevailing factors for why he sticks if he sticks.

Meh. He flunked the conditioning test. So did Blount and a few other players. There were also some key players from the 01-04 run that also flunked it. I don't put very much stock in those. Sorry.

He had a DWI. Certainly a bad decision but there are worse things he can do.

Fat, out of shape and lackadaisical play? Well, he is fat. Most DTs are out of shape. In the 1st qtr of the game Thursday I saw Branch push the pocket, slide his man to the right, jam a gap and allowed Fleming to nail the ballcarrier for a no gain.

He has a modest deal and is fine in a DT rotation. Great insurance if Seal or Easy-E get hurt and Brown or Chris Jones struggle this year.

If I believe everything everyone has said, I would believe Wayne gives back $450k signing bonus, signs with Colts, and retires.
