Patriots re-sign offensive lineman Brian Schwenke

 just three days after releasing him As part of the New England Patriots’ roster moves on cutdown weekend http://www.patriotslockerroom.com/authentic-steve-grogan-jersey , the team also let one of its depth offensive linemen go: Brian Schwenke was released to help the Patriots get under the 53-man roster limit. The veteran, who did not have to go through the waiver wire, then hit the open market but remained unsigned – until today when he returned to New England, according to ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss:Schwenke originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick in 2013. He spent the first four years of his career with the Tennessee Titans and carved out a role as a part-time starter along the interior offensive line. However, the Cal product left in 2016 to sign a free agency deal with the Indianapolis Colts. Schwenke’s tenure did not last long, and by September, he was back in Tennessee.While the 27-year old appeared in 59 games with 30 starts over the course of his five-year career Youth Sony Michel Jerseys , he did not generate much interest on the free agent market this year. Therefore, the Patriots were able to add him in late July. Despite getting thrown in at the deep end by joining New England when training camp had already started, he performed well enough over the next few weeks for the team to apparently keep him on speed-dial after his release.With Schwenke back in the fold, the Patriots now have three backup offensive linemen on their active roster: LaAdrian Waddle as a swing tackle and both Schwenke and the aforementioned Ted Karras along the interior. There may finally be an exception to the saying, “Once a Raider, always a Raider.”Receiver Antonio Brown, who was never a Raider for an actual Raiders game Sony Michel Jerseys Stitched , is a Raider no more. He posted a parting shot at the team on Twitter.“The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth,” Brown said.While hardly the ideal sentiment at a time when Brown is shopping for a new village, Brown’s message invites speculation as to whether he truly felt accepted by the organization for who he is as a person. Although coach Jon Gruden said all the right things, Gruden and G.M. Mike Mayock seemed to be trying to manage Brown with a good cop/bad cop approach that ultimately blew up in their faces.If they thought they could manage him, they weren’t paying attention to the things he was saying while he was trying to tweet his way out of Pittsburgh. Before anyone else tries to manage him, they need to realize that, while he will indeed show up and work hard and play hard Trey Flowers Jersey , he can’t and he won’t be managed. He’s doing things his way, and if you want the benefit of his talent that’s the bargain you have to make.And that will make a deal with New England even less likely. He’s clearly not chagrined or contrite or ready to change his ways to meet the requirements of a team. He wants a team that will changes its ways to accommodate him. Which means that only a small handful of teams will even consider it, if that many.If these are indeed the ground rules, one team to watch would be Washington, where the village already seems to be burning anyway.
