Waters released

1

Patriots released OG Brian Waters. Officially, his contract was terminated from the reserve/did not report list. Waters didn't want to play for the Patriots last season, but they refused to play ball after he declined a raise, holding him hostage as his contract tolled to 2013. The Pats could have kept tolling Waters' deal in perpetuity, but decided they got their point across. The longtime Chief wanted to play closer to his Texas home last season. Waters is a six-time Pro Bowler — including in 2011 — but is now 36 and hasn't played since the 2012 Super Bowl. It's unclear if he has any interest in reviving his career. Apr 30 - 5:20 PM
