Or possibly the team decided to wait for the Pats to release him, the way the Pats waited for us to release Gaffney.

They were trying to trade him, which isn't necessarily the same as they were in talks with teams

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;920492]That problem with #85 in New England was that he couldn't pick up the playbook. Maybe the terminology was confusing to him. But because of his not knowing the playbook, he was given limited opportunities last season in that offense. It's better for the Patriots to cut ties with him now.[/quote]

That plus, he's behind all of these guys on their depth chart:

Welker
Branch
Lloyd
Edelman
Gaffney
Stallworth


They have no room for someone who can't give 100% or pick up the system.

Per my arch nemesis Adam Schefter, the Pats have signed Gronk to a 6 year extension, $54 million

Good for them. It's better to take care of your elite guys early on instead of waiting until the last second to get a deal done.
