The New England Patriots parted ways with a veteran player on Monday and if the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t totally thrilled with the progress made so far during the preseason by young tight end Xavier Grimble, then they should probably consider taking a long look at said player.
Released by the Patriots on Monday was tight end Bear Pascoe, who originally entered the league with the San Francisco 49ers as a sixth-round selection in the 2009 NFL Draft out of Fresno State.
According to Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal, Pascoe was cut early in order to allow him an opportunity to catch on with another team midway through the preseason.
