(Photo: Winslow Townson/AP Images for Panini) The New England Patriots have terminated wide receiver Julian Edelman’s contact, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Further reporting from ESPN’s Adam Schefter through Mike Reiss indicates that despite being a free agent, the expectation is that Edelman will retire. Edelman was with the Patriots for 12 seasons.

The Patriots need to do something soon to show that they’re not giving up at quarterback
Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots were expected to be aggressive in their rebuilding process this offseason, but many didn’t expect them to be this aggressive. They’ve acquired the two top tight ends on the market in Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith and on the defensive side, they’ve added several pieces that will complement what was already a very good unit. However, they failed to add a true #1 WR to what was arguably the worst receiving corps in the league. Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne are good additions, but the Patriots need more. While the receivers not named Jakobi Meyers underperformed last year, this N’Keal Harry comparison will hopefully have Patriots fans reconsidering their desire to see him shipped out of town.

There are only three quarterbacks in history to beat every NFL team; Tom Brady isn’t on the list, yet.
Russell Wilson’s relationship with the Seahawks appears to be on the rocks. While Wilson has yet to formally request a trade from Seattle, he has reportedly given the team a preferred list of destinations in the event that he is traded and the Patriots were not included.
It never ends. The Patriots nightmare just keeps getting worse. While some New England fans were able to cope with their team’s failures by jumping ship (so to speak) and cheering for Tom Brady’s Buccaneers last season, it’s unlikely that many within the Patriots organization were able to participate in such escapism. Instead, they’re tasked with figuring out how to halt the franchise’s downward spiral into mediocrity and finding a way to return to prominence.

Bill Belichick was fine with letting Tom Brady depart to Tampa Bay. Coach Belichick clearly believed he could win with another quarterback and we saw how that turned out. Yes, I know it’s just one season but he went 7-9 and still doesn’t know who is going to be his starting quarterback next season. On …
