Patriots Player Departure Pats cut Beau Allen and Marqise Lee

[sb1]

The Lee and Allen eras over before it started.

Wonder if this means they’re happy with their pass catchers?

 

[Uptown]

How much (if any) money does this add to the cap?

 

[sb1]

Probably not a lot?

I wonder how many 2020 opt outs around the league have been released by their teams...

 

[sb1]

Allen apparently had a failed physical

I'm seeing $1.4M in dead money for those two.

 

[jah]

It's a shame. We could have used both last year and now we got better versions of them.

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Lee's career was hampered by injuries and inconsistent QB play. He could have had a very nice showing if he'd been healthy and had a better passer. Talented player who never matched his promise.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Allen might be the all time worst FA signing, not only did he never play a down, he never even practiced, and he costs the Pats a 4th round comp pick and now cap space and dead money!

Fat Thor abides by the release...

Remember Jonathan Fanene?

I think Beau Allen may have just been a figment of our imaginations.

 

[WeezyFbaby]

Wow what a swing and a miss Allen was. Disappointed ive liked Lee since his usc days wanted to see what he could do healthy

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Who were these guys?

 

[sb1]

I think Beau Allen may have just been a figment of our imaginations.

LOL definitely the most mysterious Patriot of all time.

 

[sb1]

Patriots legend. Thanks for your contributions big guy. Won't be forgotten.

Probably not a lot?

I feel some teams will not look at them favorably regardless of their reasons for opting out.

 

[masterbouncer]

can someone sign me to a 5M/2y contract? I swear I can stay on IR you don't need to worry just give me the money

Never forgotten, never remembered.

Not that I was expecting Lee to be a huge contributor, but this definitely signals we're looking to add another WR, be it a vet or through the draft (or both). Right now after Agholor, Meyers, and Bourne, we have the following competing for probably two more spots:

Edelman (health concerns)
Harry (talent/fit concerns and rumors have him actively being shopped anyway)
Gunner (okay depth but primarily a ST guy)
Zuber
Wilkerson

If everything goes perfectly with those players, we're set. But we all know that's not going to be the case. Personally, I would resign Byrd and draft a kid for competition and depth. Otherwise, if the plan is to use significant draft assets to trade for (or up for) a QB, then bring in two more low risk vets to make sure you get four guys who can catch the ball.

Was suprised when we signed beau instead of keeping shelton for the money we gave to beau or a littLe more. That lost comp pick stings.
