Bryan Stork fails physical, canceling trade from New England to Washington (Shutdown Corner)

One of the low-key stranger stories of last week has taken another turn.

In case you’ve forgotten, since it came before Colin Kaepernick and Tony Romo: last Wednesday morning, news came that the New England Patriots were releasing center Bryan Stork, who started Super Bowl XLIX for the team as a rookie.

But once that news was out there, the Washington Redskins reached out to New England, seeing if the two could work out a trade without Stork hitting the waiver wire. And they did, for a conditional seventh-round 2017 draft pick.
