It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The Patriots announced today that they have re-signed RB Leon Washington and signed OL Josh Kline to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. In addition the Patriots released DL A.J. Francis and signed OL Braxston Cave to the practice squad.
Grab DT AJ Francis from Phins PS only to cut him? Re-sign Washington only to guarantee him a year's salary? I'm SO confused.
Patriots waived DT A.J. Francis.
Francis was claimed off waivers from the Dolphins last week, but the Patriots decided not to carry him as a fourth defensive tackle. In a corresponding move, OG Josh Kline has been promoted from practice squad to the active roster.
I assume that the Patriots always wanted Washington back, just at a lower salary then the one they signed him for during the offseason.

As for Francis, you could very easily assume he'll be back as early as next week if they want him - no one else claimed him before and it's unlikely anyone else would claim him now either.
