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

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
