Pats released MLBer JaWhaun Bentley

[Hawkeye0202]

This was a tackling machine before his injury last season .........3 straight years over 100+ tackles ( 2021, 2022 and 2023 ). Should also be a cheap signing.......

Sure, lets sign everyone. CHEAP SIGNGINS ALL DAY LONG.

does he fit the scheme? whats our future? does he give us wins? im sure by signing him we wins a spot on the roster. Bring em all in. Lets win at something.

He failed his physical so why would the Pats just cut him if he was healthy enough or going to be healthy enough?

 

[Blackrain]

It was only a chest injury not some horrible leg injury could be a good signing

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

If he's so good, why's he available?


Seriously, this is one time where that applies.

Vrabel is not playing games in Foxboro. Curious to see if the "Patriots Way" can be rebuilt.

from ESPN

Under first-year coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots plan to adopt a more aggressive defensive scheme, and that also could have contributed to the anticipated release of Bentley, who was considered an ideal fit in the old Bill Belichick/Jerod Mayo scheme that placed a high value on run-stuffing linebackers who play downhill.

Vrabel would have kept him if he thought he was worth keeping

Fair enough, good enough reason for me.

[Coogiguy03]

Will he mess up the comp pick??

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Run stuffing LB. JJ not interested

 

[Jipper]

This board is so desperate it seems any player released that has name recognition is suggested as a good signing....sucks we have come to this guys.

That being said, sign him!!!

yup he'll be next especially soon as Allen signs elsewhere lol

 

[Ranching]

As a homer, I say, he sucks...he's over rated, if he's so good, why isn't he signed, why does the best coach in the league not want him. Strong pass!!
Now, I'll sit back and wait for the haters to say...what the hell is Jerry waiting for, this guy can be all pro, stop being cheap Jerry!!

 

[Corso]

What the hell is Jerry waiting for, this guy can be all pro, stop being cheap Jerry!!

 

[Mr_437]

I don't think Bentley is a scheme fit.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

No, since he was released, he wouldn't cost us a comp pick if we signed him.
