The first of the pieces fall. Might be good news for Wade and Bryant.

 

[Uptown]

Ok….Maybe this is what led to the Hafford resigning..

 

[Love The Drake]

What happened to him?

Seems like Wade has been impressing people in camp. Let's hope he is ready for some real playing time.

So if they want the option of bringing him back this year under the IR rules, I believe they can keep him on the initial 53-man roster. Is that correct? Or does putting him on IR now mean his season is done?

The cornerback depth chart just got thinner.

They take a 2.2 million cap hit I believe.

I think this is it for the Patriots this year.

 

[BTTA]

Interesting that he didn't just retire again.

On IR before deadline means done for year. (8/30). To return ya gotta be on the 53.

Expect the Patriots to work on a injury settlement and he retires and joins the coaching staff.

What happened to him?

He caught the flu…

 

[Pape]

Never a good thing when you have the same number as a rookie... both he and zappe were wearing #4 in the first preseason...

so maybe a good thing because they didnt have to cut him?

He wasn’t making the team.

And while they have no clear shutdown CB… what they do have is quality of depth.

He was depth in that they were an injury or 2 away from maybe needing him.

They lost two CB's in one day and while neither would currently make the team, at least one was Plan B or C.

 

[Joey007]

Sucks. But it seems like Mitchell, Mills J Jones and at least one of the rookies were beating him out anyways here.

 

[GreenCow]

Very sad to hear.

Injuries are the worst part of the sport.

So we lose cap space due to injuries on two CBs who were not gonna make the team?

I dunno about that, he looked pretty decent.
