According to multiple reports on Tuesday, the New England Patriots have officially released defensive end Albert Haynesworth.
Haynesworth, who was acquired via a trade during the preseason from the Washington Redskins, only appeared in six games this season, and recorded three tackles, (two solo and one assist).
In an interview with the Boston Herald earlier this season, he describe the move from Washington to New England “career saving.”
Troy Aikman and Skip Bayless apparently aren't seeing eye-to-eye these days!

Week four of the NFL preseason concludes on Thursday, which means the regular season is right around the corner
Here’s a couple of headlines and news from Wednesday afternoon and evening, which you’ll certainly enjoy.
* According to a recent report, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman admitted on the radio that the next time he sees ESPN’s Skip Bayless, he might take a swing at him. Yet, what exactly prompted Aikman to say these fine words? Well, because Bayless stated in his book, Hell Bent that Aikman was gay. Of course, this statement is incredibly false, so obviously, Aikman does have the right to be angry, however, shouldn’t Bayless apologize for his error? Who knows, but seriously, this isn’t exactly football news, but instead, juicy commentary and gossip.
* The Washington Post published an interesting piece on the Redskins head coach Mike Shannahan, who apparently isn’t “Mr. Nice Guy.” Although, what exactly does that mean? Shannahan didn’t experience the greatest amount of success last season, especially since defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth stole a majority of the headlines before quarterback Donovan McNabb threw a tantrum in October and November. Shannahan knows how to win, so hopefully, this is a sign that things are turning around because otherwise, he, as well as his team will falter, again.
* Last Wednesday, I mentioned an interesting story about Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton and his starting job. Well, once again, he’s another important figure this week, especially since Thursday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers will decide his role with the team. Yet, no matter the outcome, expect Newton to play a majority of the second half of the upcoming regular season, especially since they’ll have to play him at some point this year, right?
