After not seeing the field during the New England Patriots’ win against the New York Jets on Monday night, rookie linebacker Cassh Maluia was let go the next day amid a series of transactions made by the club. As with all players released after the trade deadline regardless of experience, he subsequently was exposed to the waiver wire. However, Maluia made it through without getting claimed by another club.
The 22-year-old is therefore now free to re-sign with the Patriots via their practice squad — a move that is expected to happen, as first reported by NESN’s Doug Kyed.
