The New England Patriots have started their spree of cuts ahead of Tuesday’s deadline by reportedly waiving tight end Devin Asiasi.
It’s a move that followed not long after the team’s decision to waive Dalton Keene as well. Both tight ends were taken in the third-round of the 2020 NFL draft in an effort to boost the position, which has become a staple for the franchise over the years.
Asiasi was projected to be third on the depth chart behind Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith this season. But given his injury history and overall struggles to catch on with the offense, the team has decided to move on.
