Sucks to be him... Dang. Why would they cut, I wonder?

Kinda strange to cut someone now.

Not sure but they added a defensive lineman

Likely means Chad will be active.

I would bet my money this guy was the first player ever to be cut before a Super bowl.

From Reiss, Pats insider-
1. This seems harsh to Underwood, who by most accounts is a great kid. At the same time, the move is consistent with how the Patriots have managed their roster all year, making a lot of moves the day before a game based on needs for that contest.

2. Underwood should be back in 2012, if he wants. This is not a disciplinary based decision, according to a source. The team likes him. Underwood has been the team's third, fourth or fifth receiver this year and has played sparingly.

3. Wouldn't be surprised if this is special teams based for this game. Injured tight end Rob Gronkowski plays in the wedge on special teams and the team might want to lessen his load there, given his high ankle sprain, and Silvestro can step in.

4. This should mean Chad Ochocinco is active.

5. In a longer than normal game, one that is also played indoors, keeping players fresh figures to be important. Silvestro adds depth as part of a possible rotation.

Also, I've heard that if they cut him earlier, the Giants would have had a chance to sign him? Not sure the specific rules on this though

underwoods been cut 3 times this year....sounds like he took the cut like a man tho, no real bitching

milkncereal · 02-05-12, 03:14 AM

i wonder if he is now free to bet on the game and be legal within nfl rules lol. he'd have some great inside info. He could kill some props

Bill is one nasty human being. The whole Patriots organisation, for that matter. Is there a rule that says the Giants can't pick him up? They could pick his brain

Guy still gets a ring if they win

Pretty sure that's why they waited, so the Giants couldn't do that.

Sucks for Underwood, but he apparently wasn't part of the gameplan, so he likely wouldn't have seen action anyway. Doesn't make it easier though, because he does seem like a good kid. Terrible hair, but a good kid
