Exactly one week ago, the New England Patriots swung a trade with the Buffalo Bills to acquire additional depth along the interior offensive line: the Patriots sent a sixth-round draft pick to their AFC East rivals to bring center/guard Russell Bodine on board. Unsurprisingly, the 27-year-old made the club’s initial 53-man roster as a candidate to potentially challenge Ted Karras for the starting center spot.
Today, however, Bodine was let go again: as first reported by the Boston Globe’s Jim McBride, the reigning world champion released the six-year veteran — ending his tenure with the club after only a week.
