Pats release former 1st, DT Dominique Easley


Recommended Posts

He has been a situation rusher for the Pats.  He is built just like Charles Johnson.  They are both 6'2" 280.

Wow. This comes as a shock. Even though Easley has ended each of his first two seasons on injured reserve, he's flashed big-time ability in the 22 games he's been active since being the 29th pick in the 2014 draft. Coach Bill Belichick spent much of last summer talking up Easley. Knee problems ended his final season at Florida early and hampered him as a rookie. His 2015 season was cut short in December with a torn quad. There's potentially more to this story. Easley turns 24 later this month and should resurface quickly as long as there aren't any serious off-field issues that have yet to come to light. Apr 13 - 3:43 PM

He has to go through waivers and wouldn't make it to us unless something is seriously wrong with him in which case we might not want him either.

Pretty vague, but I'd guess this means he was a serial idiot rather than one major incident from the wording. Knowing Belichick it could be something like he was constantly late to meetings and missing voluntary workouts. I'm sure we will get specifics soon enough though. It always leaks.

Or his knees could be shredded. Possibly a combination of both where they decided the headache of dealing with idiocy wasn't worth his limited potential due to his knees.

Dominique Easley facing lawsuit in Palm Beach County from Wiley Brown alleging that Easley's dog bit him, caused injuries, seeking damages

 

 

Not saying dog biting lawsuit is sole reason for Dominique Easley release, all part of the equation

News of arrest or suspension likely to follow. It makes no sense otherwise. They don't save cap room with this release and he was really good when he played.

did you just pull that out of your a$$ or know sumthin in advance?

either way - you deserve pie

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
