One man's humble opinion....
I think when these troubled guys come to NE, they get amnesty for the stuff they did before arriving - BUT they better shape up while they're here. So the rape lawsuit, while AB was here when it was filed, involved activity from years ago. These texts, however, happened Wednesday. So after being read the riot act when he arrived, he still sent those texts. So that gets him cut.
I think it actually takes a lot to get cut from the Patriots for this kind of thing. Josh Gordon's still here (though I suspect he walked away last year with the blessings of his teammates and coaches). Patrick Chung and Duron Harmon are still here. Ty Law, Kevin Faulk. Lots of guys with lesser or greater criminal complaints and stuff that the team just let blow over and never really reacted to.
