Since Inman isn't the first vet guy to do this, I have a feeling with these older players invited to TC for a tryout, the Pats/BB probably tell them, "Look, at any point if you think it's not working out, you can ask for your release and we'll give it to you," as part of the hook to get them here. It's a win/win, because we get some experience in TC for little $$, we might get a good player out of it if things click quickly, or if not, no hard feelings. On the player's side, you are in camp with a great team, (hopefully) showing you still have the goods, and even if things don't work out here, you have a better chance of hooking on elsewhere as you've shown you can still play (and the vaunted Patriots took a chance on you).And that would get out to every player in the league, and that would have a huge negative impact on future FA signings.
