Less than two days after unleashing an aerial assault on the Titans, the Patriots have decided that Joey Galloway is an unnecessary part of their roster and, according to Adam Schefter, both on my teevee and Twitter, released him.
Galloway
for the season has a stunningly weak six catches for 67 yards and
hasn't played in a Pats game since Week 3. Additionally, when Galloway
was on the field, there was an obvious disconnect between he and Tom Brady, who didn't seem to care for the receivers inability to stretch the field for Wes Welker and Randy Moss (which is what, theoretically, he was brought in to do).
As
Schefter points out, Galloway is free to sign with another team, which
is good news for the receiver who, despite being bumped from both the
Bucs and Pats in the last few months, still has enough speed and talent
to make him a viable second or third wideout for a playoff contending
team.
Of course, he also lost out on a free trip to London as a
result of the move, which might mean that Bill Belichick and Co. simply
decided that his production didn't outweigh whatever travel costs he
was going to incur.
