Patriots Player Departure Caedan Wallace released

[Joey007]

He lost two straight reps at an open to the public practice then mysteriously hurt his leg. He’s probably done with pro football.

I don’t blame the kid, he wasn’t the one who drafted him 3-4 rounds too early or put that 2024 dumpster fire together.

Now the competition is much harder. Maybe he goes to another team for a fresh start. It’s not like he didn’t have some talent.

Wallace flaming out like this did surprise me. I thought he’d at least be a decent quality depth guy based on what I saw from college. He couldn’t even maintain that.

Moved wallace around too much.

Yes, like onto an NFL roster.

Yes, like onto an NFL roster.

I get it it wasn't good but its a 3rd rd pick. Another draft L was holding out hope he could scrap a depth role rupcich and butler are as bad if not worse

I lost faith when they moved him to guard. My problem was never with the prospect, it was that prospect in the 3rd round.

Also because it was clearly a reach made because the fanbase and media were skewering them for ignoring OT for two rounds.

We would be a Super Bowl favorite stacked looking roster like Seattle and Philly if even half of the picks from that draft worked out.

Zierlein had him going in the 4th.

Wallace played in 7 games in 2 years. College OTs passed over to take him in the same round were Dominick Puni, Connor Bebee and Matt Concalves.

Further proof that the last spots on a team's roster is strictly for development players, and not true backups.

They knew there were better options for backup guard last year, but opted to give Wallace one more year to develop.

Even with how bad that draft is, the Pats still are among the best rosters in the AFC.

Top AFC rosters in now order: NE, Denver and Houston.

The 2024 draft was so bad that I suspect it was Bob Kraft making the picks.

More of a Jonathon vibe

This is where I get confused. The narrative that always gets spun is that it was always Wolf in charge and nothing changed with his role.

But the results since last year from the draft and FA do not feel like that’s the case. You don’t see GM’s flip that quickly
