The New England Patriots announced on Saturday afternoon that they have released 11 players and placed WR Brandon LaFell on the Reserve/PUP list to reach the 53-man limit.
The team released CB Robert McClain, TE Asante Cleveland, RB Jonas Gray, LB Darius Fleming, DT/DE Zach Moore, WR Jalen Saunders, CB Daxton Swanson, LB Xzavier Dickson, S Brandon King, WR Reggie Wayne and CB Justin Coleman.
Gray was perhaps the biggest surprise of the day; he had that monster game of over 200 yards against the Colts last season and then fell off the face of the earth.
