Nobody is going to give anything for him and his contract at 31.
Especially, knowing we would cut him soon.....
Not sure what the contract details are yet? NE better not be on the hook for anything considering a 2026, 7th carries little to no value. It's like getting an 8th round pick. Hopefully it's at least near the top of the 7th.

It will not include much cap relief. We only save a little over a million this year.....

It was a deal to send him a place we wanted him to go. A 7th rounder doesn't return much more than what would be available as a UDF.

Well, there's another one gone.
If you haven't figured it out yet, Vrabel is getting rid of everyone connected to the Belichick era.

David Andrews is released, Johnathan Jones(Commanders) not resigned, Detrich Wise (Commanders) not resigned, Dvon Godhaux traded, Chukawuma Okafor(Jets) released, Daniel Ekuale not resigned, and Jacoby Brissett (Cardinals) not resigned.

Good or bad, it appears that he doesn't want anyone on the team that might feel entitled because of the past.

Says he's still rehabbing his shoulder. That could be the reason too.

You are on to something. It's very unusual for a team to let players go who have been with the team more than two years. Usually they get rid of all the guys with two or less years. I had expected Vrabel to cut ties with Drake Maye.

He's cutting ties with roughly 30 years of Patriots experience.

I watched this piece with Ted Johnson this morning. He says that Cole Strange is a better fit at Center than David Andrews because in his opinion, Andrews has declined over the past several years and he (Johnson) has been vocal about it.

I think if Strange is slated as the starting center now, he will be at least as good. He's a road grader. Definitely helps push the pocket and open holes. Hopefully he has the smarts Andrews Gave NE? If so, this helps solidify the line even more.

Or maybe he's just building a better roster.

Andrews needed to go been injured the last two years

Jones is a FA loss it happens

Wide had flashes but was inconsistent

Godchaux IMO was not a loss but a blessing he's gone. Played lazy IMO

Okafor sucked

Who?

Brissett lost his job and we have a capable back up

We will see, I think he's better suited at G but if it works great. Either way we know we need a LT and IO draft be that G or C
