The New England Patriots announced their final round of roster cuts Saturday to get down to 53 players.
Among the players either waived or released are:
- TE Asante Cleveland
- LB Darius Fleming
- RB Jonas Gray
- CB Robert McClain
- DL Zach Moore
- WR Jalen Saunders
- WR Reggie Wayne
- DB Daxton Swanson
- DB Justin Coleman
- LB Xzavier Dickson
- S Brandon King
The Patriots also placed WR Brandon LaFell on the Reserve/P.U.P. list, which will cost him the first six games of the 2015 season.
Wayne, 36, signed a one-year, $2.8 million contract with the Patriots just a few weeks ago, so this comes as a bit of a surprise.
In 2014, Wayne appeared in 15 games and caught 64 passes for 779 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 106 receiver out of 110 qualifying players, so this clearly wasn’t a great season by his standards.
