FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots activated tight end David Thomas off the PUP list today. They also announced the release of 21 players. In addition, the team placed defensive lineman Richard Seymour on the reserve/physically unable to perform list and placed rookie linebacker Oscar Lua on the reserve/injured list. The Patriots are in compliance with the NFL’s regular-season roster limit.


The Patriots released RB Larry Anam, LB Chad Brown, WR Bam Childress, WR Chris Dunlap, G/C Mike Elgin, T Corey Hilliard, TE Brian Jones, WR C.J. Jones, WR Kelvin Kight, LB Corey Mays, TE Garrett Mills, DL Rashad Moore, G/C Gene Mruczkowski, T Clint Oldenburg, TE Marcellus Rivers, LB Justin Rogers, RB Quinton Smith, QB Vinny Testaverde, DL Santonio Thomas, CB Dante Wesley and DL Zach West.

This means Seymour will miss the first 6 weeks, right? That would mean he will not be active when we host the Pats in week 6.

I'll bet they pick Matt Moore off the waiver wire.

 

[Nav22]

Nah, it seems they're keeping Matt Gutierrez around.

Tough break for them about Seymour. I mean that, hate the Pats but he's a player..

VT may be one of those cut today, re-sign next week deals.

Seymour on the PUP list is huge.

He'll miss the Dallas game and then get better for our NFC east rivals.

yes so maybe we will bring him in.

He has to make it too us first. Another team might claim him first.

What are the rules on vested veterans now? It used to be four years... Is it still? I almost thought that changed with the last CBA.

But Wesley was drafted in 2002. By the old rules at least, he doesn't go through waivers and can negotiate his own deal. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's right.)

Gotta help us!
