Talented, but concussion-prone Center was outplayed by Andrews

The Patriots released two more veteran players this morning, C Bryan Stork and WR Nate Washington, bringing the roster down to 81 players. Neither player being released is a surprise, unlike the social media firestorm brewing. The Patriots roster must be lowered to the league-mandated limit of 75 players by August 30.

Stork was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and was a starter on the Super Bowl winning squad. He is a tough, physical player who immediately resonated with the fans for his Logan Mankins-style play.
