The Patriots began roster cutdowns yesterday by releasing three players: defensive backs Josh Barrett and Ross Ventrone as well as defensive tackle Gerard Warren. Of the three, Warren was considered the player most likely to make New England’s 53-man roster.
One young tight end, however, isn’t going anywhere.
Ty Warren and Vince Wilfork look forward to working with newly-signed Gerard Warren.
As I’m sure many of you already know, the Patriots have a penchant for drafting first-round players whose last names start with “W” or “M”. (McCourty, Mayo, Meriweather, Mankins, Maroney, Wilfork, Warren, Watson…) Two of those players, Vince Wilfork and Ty Warren have made up two-thirds of the starting defensive line for the past few years.
