After signing Eric Decker last week, the Patriots continued to reshape the wide receiver depth chart with the release of a Super Bowl winner.
Malcolm Mitchell, the 25-year-old receiver who caught six passes for 70 yards in Super Bowl LI, is reportedly being released by New England, according to NFL reporter Jason La Confora.
