The Patriots cut NT Keith Traylor today, telling him they are going with their younger players at the position.
Traylor is old, but he was a valuable role player for the Pats last year, helping stuff the run on early downs. He is limited to that role, but that was basically the role that Pat Williams played in Buffalo last year. Perhaps he could help you guys in a rotation.
My guess is Romeo Crennel wants him in Cleveland, where they need DL help. Traylor can be had for the Veteran Minimum ($765K), which is what the Pats were scheduled to pay him. With the vet exception rule, a 1-Year minimum contract for him would only count $450K on the cap.
