2025 Patriots Roster

[cdumler7]

This decision wasn't made in a vacuum last night.

Also strange, that he was let go much earlier in free agency. Sometimes being let go late is pay back because the coach knows that the big money has already been spent.

This happens all the time. You keep those guys around until later in FA because you are not sure who you are going to sign and don't want to be left in a position where you have to panic because you cut a guy too early then didn't sign the player you were hoping for. LB especially this offseason the contracts got crazy so my guess is Patriots hung on to him just to see what would happen. There could also have been they were hoping to get him traded and were willing to wait just in case an offer came in but now realize teams are growing cold in that area.

There is more than just issues the player is causing, but scheme fit, youth movement, sometimes new coaches like to cut old captains because they want an easier time controlling the voice of what the captains say to the rest of the locker room type thing.

Bentley is gone.

Patriots reportedly releasing defensive captain in a surprising move

The New England Patriots are reportedly releasing defensive captain Ja'Whaun Bentley.

A pectoral injury is a tough injury to recover for for a linebacker.
It is instinct to reach out to grab a runner running past him with your extended arm.
Very hard on a repaired pec.

Bentley was average at best. From what I’ve read, he doesn’t fit the role of a LB that Vrable uses.

Bently was probably a little better than average in the right system. I am happy that we are going for a faster system.

There ya have it.

Yeah I read he was dismissed with a failed physical designation.

It only took a few days to get the real reason. Almost as if the media wanted to stick a thorn in someone's ass.
