The Patriots have waived Thompkins and promoted linebacker Ja’Gared Davis from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, per the NFL transaction wire.
I'm disappointed with this. Does anybody know why he has not played the last 2 games?
Does anybody know why Amendola has a job at 4 million or whatever and Thompkins is released at $465k or whatever?
Do the coaches have to go through concussion tests,because this coach seems to have full blown dementia
Both Thompkins and Dobson were inactive last week because of "football" reasons according to Bill Belichick and he would not elaborate. Accoring to Christian Fauria of WEEI, both guyswere absolutely horrible in practice last week and even Brady was doing some ass chewing at practice. Basically they were so bad in practice that they couldn't be trusted in a game.
Thompkins was outstanding last year because he as playing for his football life. This year he's made no impact at all. Maybe he's gotten just a little complacent figuring he made the 53 man roster.
With Tyms coming off suspension, Thompkins had to take it up at least two notches since he was benched for poor play last week. Apparently Tyms showed up ready to play and Thompkins didn't. As a result he's gone.
Browner didn't make much of an impact in camp this week and he's inactive.
Personally, I don't have a problem with this move. Just wish BB would cut some of the so called offensive linemen that can't block.
I am also sorry to see Tompkins go. His was a real heartwarming story , coming from a hard family situation and being able to keep it together. Hope he shows something with the Raiders and maybe gets picked up by a solid team. Amendola has shown absolutely nothing since being hurt in his first game as a Pat. As was mentioned earlier, his contract situation is such that the team would take a real financial hit if they let him go this year. Next year, however, the money hit would not be nearly as hard and DA might be gone then.
There has to be some internal issue going on inside the locker rooms that belichik is keeping it under raps because isnt this basically the same offense brady had last season that took them all the way to the conference game? And now your waiving and benching those same players? I picked up amendola on my FF thinking with him healthy, dobson, thompkins, edelmen, and gronc this passing game will be fire.
