The New England Patriots parted ways with one of their former first-round draft picks on Wednesday as defensive tackle Dominique Easley was waived.
Easley, who had entered the NFL with health questions after suffering multiple ACL injuries at Florida, finished both of his first two seasons in the league on the Patriots Reserve/Injured list. He totaled just 25 tackles and three sacks over those two seasons. According to the league’s official transaction sheet, Easley was waived without any kind of injury designation.
According to Tom Curran of CSNNE, there wasn’t just one thing that led to Easley’s Wednesday waiving.
