Perhaps you should prepare yourself for the idea that we might not know much more about the real reasons for quite a while, if ever.Very anxious to see WTF this is all about

A complete idiot.
Well, that's that. He's either injured to the point where the team doesn't think he can ever return to form or he did something behind the scenes. Either way, the guy was talented when healthy but could not stay on the field. Very big draft bust. Further, who is going to be pushing the pocket this season at DT? This pretty much makes DL one of the team's top needs again.
No, it's really not, unless the cops are on the way to his house right now.
If the 49ers could swap mega-bust AJ Jenkins for Jonathan Baldwin, or the Saints swap Jonathan Sullivan for Bethel Johnson, you'd think the Patriots could have gotten something for a guy who was at least a highly effective sub package player when he was healthy. Hell, they got a 4th round pick for Laurence Maroney from the Broncos, who had to have seen a guy tap-dancing on their screen for the past three seasons. If they cut Easley merely because he was a headache, taking on a higher cap hit in the process, that's like Bruins-level asset management.
Chocolate Chip would be fine.Someone bake this man an entire sheet of cookies!
If claimed he had significant value.You would think that Bill could have bundled Easley and a draft pick to move up one round in the draft at least. Say a 3rd and Easley for a 2nd or a 6th and Easley for a 5th or a 4th. There has to be something bad enough that he would have no value at all in trade.
If claimed he had significant value.
Glass 1 and Glass 2Still isn't as bad of a pick as Dowling. At least Easley showed that he could play.
Getting something for free does not prove value.If claimed he had significant value.
I agree but the Pats have a long track record of being the best in the league at asset management.
There must be an unkept secret in the league about Easley and his stock is lower than low.

... Of course, the cost for New England of cutting Easley is alleviated if he's claimed on waivers. Not expensive for another team to do it.
Not free. Assume contract.Getting something for free does not prove value.
Those calling him a "bust" are simply ludicrous. Before he was injured he was being rated one of the pass rushing DT's in league per play. A bust doesn't do that (except when you are on a fan message board, I guess)
Yeah, the question of whether the Patriots could have got something for him or not seems like it should resolve itself when we find out if he clears waivers or not, assuming we don't hear anything before that about why he was waived in the first place.
