If this is shocking to you, you haven’t paid any attention. The Patriots knew what they were doing with signing AB & the second the off the field distractions superseded his play on the field, he would be cut. That happened to be Friday.
Head Coach Bill Belichick walked out of his press conference earlier on Friday after the media had asked numerous questions about the wide receiver. That leads me to believe BB had just had enough & wanted to cut his losses.
The Patriots released this statement:
