I don’t count this as a real shocker. A little surprising, but I don’t rule out that TBC could be back. Is any team really going to take a chance on him right now and not even have a chance of seeing him at training camp. So there’s definitely a potential scenario where the Pats could bring him back if Eric Moore and other OLBs on the roster don’t emerge. It would be an easy week one call and TBC should be healthy by then. Financially it saves the Patriots $1.85 million on this year’s cap.
NOTE – some outlets reporting the savings is over $4 million. I believe the new CBA might supersede those cap figures featured on PatsCap.com.
