The New England Patriots woke up on Monday morning and apparently didn't want to deal with whatever linebacker Brandon Spikes had gotten himself into.
A day after news broke that Spikes' car was found crashed and abandoned, the Patriots cut the veteran linebacker. Spikes had been looking for a job when the Patriots, whom he was with from 2010-13, signed him on May 18. Spikes, who was with the Buffalo Bills last season, probably won't find an easier time finding a new team this time around.
At 3:20 a.m. on Sunday, police were notified of an abandoned car on the median of Interstate 495, the Boston Globe reported.
