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

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
