Patriots Cut TE Mason Brodine& LB Chris White, Sign Two

The New England Patriots announced Monday that they’ve released TE Mason Brodine and placed LB Chris White on waivers.

• The team also signed RB Tony Creecy and TE Logan Stokes to contracts.

White, 26, is a former sixth-round pick of the Bills back in 2011. He spent two years in Buffalo before he was traded to the Lions in return for QB Thad Lewis. However, he lasted just a few days with the Lions before he was waived at the start of the 2013 season.

The Patriots would later sign him to their roster in September of last year and bring him back as an unrestricted free agent.

In 2014, White appeared in 13 games for the Patriots and recorded seven tackles as a special teams contributor.

Brodine, 27, originally signed on with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska-Kearney back in 2011. He lasted just over a year in Oakland before he was waived and later claimed by the Rams at the start of the 2012 season.

New England just signed him to a contract a few days ago, so his stay was obviously short lived.
