J.McG said:Found the locker room bugs and hightailed it outta Foxboro, collecting $450k in the process. That'd be my guess.
@jeffphowe: I wonder if the Colts will hang a "Cost Patriots $450,000 in 2015 cap money" banner.
Doesn't sound like Wayne was thrilled with way things were playing out for him in NE, or Pats were likely going to cut him anyway. Asking out lets him save some face if he still thinks he can play.Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter, 9/5/15, 4:18 PM): Former Colts and Patriots WR Reggie Wayne likely would be willing to play again -- but only in right situation, per source."
Zach Moore has been released, per source.
The Patriots cut LB Xzavier Dickson, per source.

Watched him a lot last season here in Indy. He's toast.bsj said:Any thoughts on Hakeem Nicks? I mean, he's only 27....
So Reiss fails? Or did someone at ESPN post under his name citing Yates? :rolling:PedroKsBambino said:That was part of the Pats test of which media members have actual sources and which are just reading twitter and/or making things up

Agreed.PedroKsBambino said:
Truth is we don't know yet.
His more recent tweet could be as simple as 'excited for season to start'
It's the problem with treating Twitter as a clear source of information
If accurate, glad to see him gone.Laser Show said:Wow. Zolak tweeting that a source close to Wayne said he wanted out because the work environment "was too serious, not fun."

Jeff Howe (@jeffphowe, 9/5/15, 5:47 PM): Not sure if Reggie Wayne will (or was even asked to) return his $450,000 signing bonus. "Never came up," a source said.

Reggie Wayne spent the week memorizing the Patriots' playbook. He'll return to Indy with the goods. #wherearethestolenplans #starswarsjoke

Doesn't really ring true to me seeing as how Wayne spent most of his career catching passes from one of the game's greatest on-field a-holes, not to mention the hitman.
Nah. I translated it as: "Reggie's a guy I always loved on the field but he's toast now and sucks."J.McG said:Guessing it's not too often Belichick feels the need to issue a statement after releasing a player who's been in camp for less than 2 weeks. Is he just kissing Wayne's ass in hopes he agrees to pay back his $450k signing bonus?
Belichick sure seems like he needs insider help to figure the Colts out.dcmissle said:People trying to spin this as "industrial" (the word of the week) espionage are moronic.
I'm assuming you're joking.jsinger121 said:Wayne is a gutless soft player
MarcSullivaFan said:I'm assuming you're joking.
For those who are actually making this claim, you don't get 14,300 yards in the NFL if you're gutless or soft.
Yeah, I think he interned with them every summer when he was in college, before working for Pioli in KC. When Field posts news about the pats (like the typo about Wendell's (?) bonus) he isn't guessing. If you saw the ESPN segment on him being featured in the Nantucket Magazine, you can figure out his Foxboro connection.J.McG said:Yates worked for Pats not long ago, so if he says PUP, I tend to believe it. Different story had it been Volin, SMY, or pretty much anyone on the Globe beat.
