FOXBORO, MA — The Patriots have announced that they have terminated the contracts of special teams standout Larry Whigham and defensive lineman Henry Thomas.
Whigham made his claim to fame as a special teams standout and has also spent time as a safety in New England’s defense. He struggled during last season however and saw teammate Tebucky Jones see the majority of the action. Whigham was named AFC Special Teams Player of the year in 1996 and subsequently earned a trip to the Pro Bowl in 1997.
As for Thomas he had the final year of his contract terminated and reportedly was scheduled to receive a $300,000 roster bonus this month. The Boston Globe reported on Tuesday that the Patriots were supposed to be working on a contract extension for Thomas, but instead they have opted to move in another direction.
