Report: Patriots To Release Stephen Gostkowski

[sb1]

Wow. Guess the team does not believe he is healthy nor worth what he’s going to be paid. I wonder how they’ll fix that hole.

Replaced AV. That’s quite a run. Thanks Gost.

 

[Deus Irae]

Anyone really surprised?

 

[Foxypats]

Not shocked by this but sad about it, soon we will have very few players left from our last SB team !

 

[sb1]

Read it adds 3.5M in cap space. Bring Folk back?

Anyone really surprised?

Not surprised. Was he the “new” longest running Patriot player ? Slater the old man now ?

 

[jboston19]

I guess Slater is the longest tenured Patriot now?

I wonder if it’ll be Folk or a draft pick kicking next year?

Bring Adam back!!

They've now got enough room for at least one more safety/STer!

Thanks, Gost... all the best to you. You were a helluva kicker for the Pats.

Man, this year's Pats will bring back memories of Butch and Sundance...

 

[italian pat patriot]

With Vinatieri he has been so good in Patriot uniform as kicker

Good luck and thks for the GREAT memories

Grazie Gost...

 

[RobertWeathers]

Surprised it took this long. Maybe they had hope they'd figure out a restructure and he finally said no. Another great Patriot moving on.

 

[jah]

50+ yard field goals will become less of a sure thing, but extra points will become more of a sure thing.

 

[Kontradiction]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t targeting Blankenship in the draft. Probably earlier than any of us would like, too.

 

[festy1986]

I'm not sure why there havent been more of these at this point to be honest.

Thanks for the memories

 

[BradyFTW!]

Not surprised at all, was pretty much expecting it.

He had a hell of a run with the Pats, and some of us who were down on him--me included--may be in for a rude awakening if the Pats don't draft or sign the right replacement. But his salary was just too high for a guy with so many question marks surrounding him.

 

[oceansizer]

Sad but not surprised at all.

 

[signbabybrady]

Brady, AV, Gost. 12 rings and 44 years of service to the Pats.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I predicted this a while ago...not surprised at all. It saves some cap space.
