A Little Trimming

The last few days have been very hectic with the large amount of player movement throughout the league.

The cuts made by the Pats today came as no surprise to me. Some of the players had some rather large cap numbers. Those include Ty Warren, Alge Crumpler, Nick Kaczur and Marcus Stroud.

Crumpler might be re-signed at a lower number, but Warren has expressed interest in returning to his home state of Texas to play for the Cowboys or Texans.

There is no room for the NFL for sentimentalism. Players are discarded much like old clothing. Matt Light is fighting for his survival on the team after being a stalwart at left tackle for the last ten seasons. Nick Solder is the new kid in town and the team is ready to plug him into Light's position. If Light wants to finish his career in New England, it will be for less money and at a different position.
