The New England Patriots have released veteran defensive tackle Terrance Knighton, who was one of the team's most notable free agent signings this past offseason.
Knighton broke the news himself with a tweet sent out Monday morning.
Well it's been real New England. The road continues

Shortly after Knighton sent out the tweet, the Boston Herald's Jeff Howe confirmed the news, reporting that Bill Belichick met with the veteran on Saturday to break the news.
Knighton is the odd man out at what's become a crowded defensive line group.
