Seems Corral just decided not to show up for work with the Patriots. This should probably close the book on his illustrious career

Considering how shaky the starting QB situation has been in NE you do kind of have to question his motivation not showing up.

We already know Beane tried to get Trey Lance. Corral has elite arm talent and he is also incredibly mobile. 
 

If anything at all happens to Josh’s Allen we are sunk. Corral might make things interesting.

 

how do we know he tried to get Lance?  Genuinely curious!   Good news if true.

wonder if he failed to show up, or if NE is olaying games trying to keep him and the other guy 

 

“This designation means Corral is no longer a member of the Patriots’ 53-man roster. However, being placed on this list also means another team cannot claim the 24-year-old off waivers, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.”

I mean besides the obvious it's the Patriots they cheat thing you can't do that without them not showing up, pretty sure the guy would have an issue with not getting paid anymore and not being able to go anywhere else.

lack of pay thing is a good point.    perhaps he is a “consultant” while not in the real payroll.  

 

yeah, likely legit, but sucks if he just retired.

The Bills need a talent infusion at backup QB, and Corral is far more talented than the players currently on the roster. He was Chris Simm’s #1 QB in the draft last year, but more importantly, his dual threat ability would be a revelation for a QB learning and developing under Josh Allen. He would be an amazing scout team QB if nothing else. 
 

Put a claim in Buffalo! 

Beane, get 'er done!

A local 49ers beat reporter said that according to a team source the Bills made an offer and the cowboys beat it.

Cut by the Patriots.  Zappe back to 53.  May go back to Carolina's PS.

I had read he took a personal leave, not that he was cut.  Zappe was elevated because Corral doesn't count towards the roster while gone.
