Patriots release Tim Wright


The Patriots announced this morning that they have released tight end Tim Wright.

Wright was acquired just before the start of last season in a trade with Tampa Bay. The Patriots sent guard Logan Mankins to the Bucs and received Wright and a 4th round pick in return. The Patriots used that fourth round pick to draft defensive end Trey Flowers in May.



Wright had 26 receptions for 259 yards and 6 touchdowns. He wasn't even targeted in the three playoff games.

While Wright is young and has a lot of upside, the addition of Scott Chandler this offseason made the tight end a crowded group. It would seem that Wright was the long shot of the group to make it and the team is releasing him early to give him a chance to catch on with another team.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
