Meanwhile, Chandler had signed a two-year, $5.3 million contract with the Patriots on March 16, 2015 after spending the prior five seasons with theBuffalo Bills (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/buf/buffalo-bills). The Patriots had visions of pairing Chandler (6-7, 260) with Rob Gronkowski (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13229/rob-gronkowski) (6-6, 265) in a two-tight-end set, practicing it extensively in spring practices and training camp, but it never came to fruition during the regular season.
Chandler was slowed by a knee injury and his release came with a failed physical designation.
Chandler, 30, finished the year with 23 catches for 259 yards and four touchdowns, slipping to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind Michael Williams (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15910/michael-williams).
