Cornerback Springs released by Pats

GameSetMatch — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:42:00 +0000

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.

For now, though, the team and 35-year-old player are going their separate ways, the source said.

“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.

Pats, Burgess agree on 1 year

GameSetMatch — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:05:36 +0000

Just as the New England Patriots retained Vince Wilfork, they have done the same with defensive end Derrick Burgess.

The Patriots and Burgess reached agreement on a one-year contract, a league source said Friday morning. The agreement enables New England to continue to stockpile defensive linemen.

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.

Brady: ‘Lack of trust’ hurt Patriots

GameSetMatch — Wed, 12 May 2010 17:32:29 +0000

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.

The Patriots’ struggles in the second half of games in 2009 were well chronicled. Of their six losses, they were leading at the half in four of them and tied in another. The Patriots were outscored 94-38 in the second half of their six losses. In addition to their second-half struggles, the Patriots were just 2-6 on the road.

“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.

Brady throws four TDs, three to Moss, in dominant win to clinch division

GameSetMatch — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:37:38 +0000

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.

“That was very entertaining,” Moss said after the New England Patriots clinched the AFC East title with a 35-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. “I had a lot of my teammates wanting me to mess with the guy. So he put a little humor into it and I enjoyed it.”

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.

In the receiving line?

GameSetMatch — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:43:46 +0000

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.

Tate was on the non-football injury list as he recovered from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his knee suffered during his senior season at North Carolina. The designation meant Tate could not practice until after the sixth game of the season. Now the Patriots have 21 days to determine whether they want to activate Tate, release him, or place him on the season-ending reserve list.

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.

Galloway joins long list of wide receiver blunders

GameSetMatch — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:14:02 +0000

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.

“(We) moved on on that one,” Belichick explained Tuesday. “He’s had a great career. It’s just one of those things; it just didn’t work out. I don’t think it’s anybody’s fault or anything that you can pinpoint, it’s just one of those things that didn’t work out.”

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.
