The New England Patriots released cornerback Shawn Springs on Tuesday but haven’t ruled out re-signing him, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. “I’ll have teams calling me, and they won’t be [bad] teams,” Springs told The Boston Globe. “I’m cool. I would come back to New England. I wish them the best. I’m going to miss those guys.” Springs told the Globe that he had arthroscopic knee surgery in January, though he stressed that the injury was not the reason why he was released. “It’s not a knee issue,” he told the newspaper. Just as the New England Patriots retained Vince Wilfork, they have done the same with defensive end Derrick Burgess. Already this offseason, the Patriots have signed Wilfork and Gerard Warren to go along with pass rusher Tully Banta-Cain. New England and Burgess have had dialogue since before the free-agent signing period started the first week of March. Quarterback Tom Brady reiterated Wednesday that he thought last year’s New England Patriots team was not mentally tough and, looking back, indicated there was a “lack of trust, lack of confidence” within the team. “When it comes down to it, games that we lose in the fourth quarter, games that we lose in the second half, or losing on the road like we did, that can be lack of trust, lack of confidence,” Brady said in an interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI on Wednesday morning. “There are a lot of issues you have when that repeats itself time and time again over the course of the season.” The Patriots’ up-and-down 2009 season was punctuated by a 33-14 blowout loss to the Ravens in the divisional playoffs. Brady threw four interceptions in the game and the Patriots fell behind 24-0 in the first quarter. Randy Moss stared at the scoreboard after his third touchdown catch and saw a fan wearing a Randy Moss mask on the screen. The real Randy — the one who played hard Sunday — stood on the sideline with a huge grin as he made his parting-of-the-defense motion, sweeping his arms from his chest to his sides. After his last home game, a 20-10 win over Carolina, several Panthers questioned his effort. So did Patriots fans the following week. But on Sunday they chanted his name, “Randy, Randy, Randy.” And Moss, who has sold the mask on his Web site , appreciated it. New England Patriots Sports Memorabilia
Patriots wide receiver Brandon Tate has spent most of his rookie season working out and taking notes. This week he finally got the chance to practice. Tackle Mark LeVoir (shoulder) is in the same boat, as he was on the physically unable to perform list. Tate has been itching for a chance, and he is joining the mix at the right time. The Patriots released veteran receiver Joey Galloway Tuesday, and receiver Julian Edelman has a forearm injury that kept him out of practice yesterday.

The Joey Galloway experiment ended with nothing more than a whimper on the field from the veteran (7 catches, 67 yards in three games) and a grunt from Bill Belichick. The 37-year-old Galloway’s exit leaves the Patriots at about 3-15 when it comes to wide receiver moves in the Belichick Era. Of course, Randy Moss and Wes Welker are the hits. Drafting Deion Branch in round 2 in 2002 ranks as the third victory. Of course, Branch being dealt to Seattle when the team chose not to pay him counts as a loss, too, one you can argue from which the Pats have yet to recover.
