The New England Patriots released linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley in a salary cap-saving move.
Bentley played in only two games last season, suffering a season-ending torn pectoral muscle. The 28-year-old former team captain was a starter for New England since 2020. Before 2024, he had three consecutive seasons of at least 100 total tackles.
