The Patriots have released veteran TE Marcus Pollard.
"We just felt like, with Marcus, that it wasn't really going to work out here the way that we had hoped and that he had hoped. But at the same time, there is still a couple of preseason games left. There is some time before the opener, and I think there are some other teams that are looking for tight ends and maybe there is a better opportunity for him somewhere else; that's for him to determine. Rather than to do it on the last cut, where his options would be more limited, we felt like in fairness to him and out of respect to him, that he deserved that." -- Bill Belichick
The Patriots filled their open roster spot, created by the release of veteran TE Marcus Pollard, by re-signing rookie TE Tyson DeVree. Benjamin Watson and David Thomas still remain 1-2 on the tight end depth chart.
