Lack of NFL size.What about Tony Garcia?
That was the quietest exit by a top draft choice ever. What exactly was wrong?

so we got one game out of him and have to pay 6 games worth of salary. looks like a poor move on the Pats part
Lack of NFL size.
I'm going out on a limb to suggest that we haven't yet seen the best of Dwayne Allen. The fact he has stuck despite his issues tells me they believe in him (they have shown they aren't afraid to cut bait). He shows value as a blocker and can catch a few balls. They ran the ball well on Sunday, which is really what you want most of the time with a 2-tight end set. They are moving the ball well enough that I don't think another dynamic pass-catching TE would make a huge difference.
Perhaps, yes, but I think it's more likely that the signing lit a fire under him given. I think that's the natural reaction anyone would have if a team signs/drafts/trades for your potential replacement.

…and that there is no financial benefit to cutting him.
Well he better show us his best soon or he'll have to take a paycut to hang around in the offseason or get cut. Infact I am pretty sure this is a foregone conclusion (a paycut) no matter what he does for the rest of the season; what's left to determine is how much paycut.
They have nobody in the building capable of replacing him, and there's nobody outside the building either, with the possible exception of Gary Barnidge…but why he isn't inside some other team's building is unknown.While true, the benefit to cutting him is opening up a roster spot. If the Pats felt he wasn't helping the team, he'd be gone. We've seen it enough times to know this is true...
When's the deadline to start Mitchell or Valentine practicing?
