Winslow Fails Physical With Pats

Winslow Fails Physical With Pats

FOXBORO — Tight end Kellen Winslow will not be joining the Patriots anytime soon after failing his physical.

Winslow, 29, has chronic problems with his knees and was released last week by the Seahawks after reportedly refusing to take a pay cut.

The 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end caught 75 passes last season but only two for touchdowns for the Buccaneers.

Winslow – the sixth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Browns – seriously injured his right knee in a motorcycle accident in 2005. He has had several surgeries on the knee since, including microfracture surgery in 2007.

Seahawks Release TE Winslow

Seahawks Release TE Winslow

RENTON, Wash. — Kellen Winslow was acquired by the Seattle Seahawks in the hopes that along with Zach Miller the duo could become a formidable set of tight ends who could add another element to the Seahawks offense.

Those plans drastically changed on Saturday when Winslow was released by the team, keeping true to the Seahawks’ past form of tinkering with their roster even after all training camp cuts are made.

A team spokesman confirmed Winslow’s release shortly after it was first reported by ESPN.com. Winslow was scheduled to make $3.3 million in base salary in 2012, following his trade from Tampa Bay to Seattle in May.

Bucs Put 10 Players  On Waivers

Bucs Put 10 Players On Waivers

On Monday, Tampa Bay Buccaneer head coach, Greg Schiano, called 10 players to turn in their playbooks as the team began trimming the roster.

The Bucs successfully reached the 75-man roster limit by the 4 p. m. deadline.

The Bucs put guard Davin Joseph on injured reserve, and defensive end Da’Quan Bowers on reserve/physically unable to perform lists.

The Bucs waived running back De’Anthony Curtis, long snapper, Andrew DePaola, wide receiver, Greg Ellingson, tight end, Collin Franklin, wide receiver, Ed Gant, punter, Eric Guthrie, tackle, Mike Ingersoll, linebacker, Brian Smith, safety, Tramain Thomas, and cornerback, Marquese Wheaton.

Last Thursday, the Bucs waived defensive end Quintin Anderson, wide receiver Armahd Lewis and tackle Mike VanDermeulen.

After Wednesday’s pre-season finale against the Washington Redskins, Schiano will have to trim the roster to the regular season 53-man limit.

The Bucs also announced that top draft pick, running back Doug Martin from Boise State, has successfully taken over as the number one back, a distinction held by LeGarrett Blount.

Also, first round draft pick, safety Mark Barron, has been paired with 16-year veteran, Ronde Barber, and that has had a huge impact on the improvement of the defense.

Vick Back At Practice And ‘Close To 100%’

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick will take his next snap in the season opener for the Philadelphia Eagles. Who replaces him if he gets hurt again remains a question.

Vick is back at practice after leaving last Monday’s game with injured ribs. He didn’t play in Friday’s game at Cleveland, but returned to the field Sunday night for Philadelphia’s annual practice party at Lincoln Financial Field.

”I think he’s real close to 100 percent,” offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Monday. ”I thought he threw the ball last night just beautifully; threw it strong and aggressively. So, I think he’s ready to rock and roll. That’s my point on that. I think he’s ready to go.”
