YoloinOhio Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 @tomecurran The Patriots have released oft-injured defensive lineman Dominique Easley. Easley was a 2014 first round pick. Story to come @mikegarafolo Dominique Easley has indeed been been cut by the Pats. Subject to waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Genius Pick by Belichick no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 He was good when healthy. Only played 22 games in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 He was the flip side of the Gronk pick. Great talent but major injury concerns causing them to fall. Gronk worked out, Easley must not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I would be more excited about this is Grigson didn't pass Malcom Brown to the Pats last year. He will be a problem in that middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Maybe he can unite with often injured Marcus Easley? git er dun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 they also signed Terrence Knighton. Yeah good signing to add some depth to that middle and continue to let Brown develop. Grigson is so terrible. This year i'm hoping Boyd gets drafted before the Patriots pick, he would be a perfect fit for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 @MikeReiss According to @patscap, Dominique Easley had a $1.9 million cap charge. By cutting him now, Patriots assume $3.6 million cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills of Boston Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Purely guessing... I wonder if he was the Pats player that was said to be with Tray Walker (Ravens) when he passed away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I wonder if there is a looming suspension of some kind on Easley's horizon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously facing a suspension because Easley is responsible for the actions of his dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 @ArthurArkush Report: #Patriots pull another DL stunner, releasing 2014 1st-rounder Easley: http://shawurl.com/2iym The way we see it So much for it taking three years to evaluate a draft class. Arguably the smartest NFL coach saw enough Easley in two years to decide he wasn't part of the team's plans moving forward. This move comes weeks after another stunning former first-round departure in Chandler Jones and days after the addition of Terrance Knighton. It'll be interesting to see if Easley is claimed off waivers. He's a first-round talent, but that means he comes with a first-round price tag in addition to the obvious injury concerns.
