New England Patriots Thread Mod Warning Post #253

Pats have released Easley. Bit of a shock despite the injury history. Looked good when he could manage to stay on the field. Maybe fighting a losing battle against those two ACL tears.

Bit of a surprise considering he is still on the rookie deal

Edit: He had a hit of 1.9 million this year now its 3.6 million after been cut

Guarantee this is something he's done.

This would be the obvious assumption as otherwise it is a beyond baffling move from ye.

"Philosophical differences on following injury programs etc" per Tom Curran.

Vandango

Whether he was an injury risk going forward or had an attitude problem. I think he now passes out Ras-i Dowling as the greatest draft bust of the Belichick era. A 1st rounder totally pissed away.

eagle eye

I couldn't agree with that, Dowling beats him out hands down for that and Laurence Maroney even with all the time he spent on the roster and the chances he got was a big bust too.

StringerBell

Maroney is high up there for me

bruschi

Easley has had 3 agents in 3 years too, which isnt a good look either. It does sound like it was off field issues may have been the final nail, it's not as if his on field play was enough to overlook anything that may have been going on off field.

Hazys

Doesn't look like it was one issue/incident specifically just that he was a constant locker room cancer. Butting heads with the team on multiple occasions.

Its a pity as he has shown flashes of greatness but injuries and a poor attitude were his downfall. Hopefully tho somebody else will take a chance on him so we won't be on the hook for $3m cap hit this year.

I've a feeling if he gets his attitude together, he could be a serious player in the NFL and the Pats cutting him might be the kick up the ass he needs but that's no consolation to us.

He's cleared waivers, obviously nobody else wanted the risk.

Looks like we start the season in Arizona, bye week is much better this year it's in week 9

Hello Pats fans.

Just looking at the schedule for this season and I'll be in the Boston area mid November, around the time of Seahawks @ Patriots.

What are the chances of picking up two tickets for this game and the best way of going about it?

Mid-June or July a small amount of regular season tickets go on sale for each game on Ticketmaster. Its best to try and get tickets there first as you'll get them at face value. I get tickets to at least one game on Ticketmaster every year.

Seahawks tickets will be the toughest to get so if you miss out on Ticketmaster you'll have to try StubHub or the other ticket tout websites. Initially the ticket prices will be way up so don't feel the need to buy straight away, wait a couple of months and the ticket prices will drop. Seatgeek.com is the best place to buy 2ndry market tickets as it aggregates all the ticket tout websites.

Hoping that I might be able to get a ticket for the season opener. Just trying to decide what body part I can stand to lose the most.

He doesn't always get it right, but I'm just happy that he's doing this sort of stuff than some of the other off-season activities that players get up to

Former BC Eagle and Pats DT Ron Brace died today. RIP Big Ron

Does this mean we're booing Bob Kraft again? Isn't that how real fans are supposed to react?

AbusesToilets

So much for getting a chance to see Brady play this year.

Are you trying to ignite a few people with that comment?

We were intending to boo Kraft because he accepted the punishment and didn't give a proper explanation as to why. He came out after that and explained himself very well.

As for the suspension being upheld I'm just disgusted. It's pushing me towards not watching any NFL until he plays just to make a stand against this awful abuse of power.

I'm actually worried that Tom could seriously consider retirement rather than sit through a suspension.

eagle eye

Just reading up on this and Goodell actually has to go and confirm that Brady will be suspended again now.

Also there is still stuff that Berman has to rule on and a key part of is that Goodell gave powers to decide on a punishment to Vincent which looks to be in violation of the CBA.

BKWDR

After watching NFL Network and reading a bit of online stuff about it....the whole thing is crazy how it has spiralled so far and so much.

At this point do you think they should just plan for the fact that he wont be playing the first 4 games. We are in good hands with Jimmy.
