NFL media insider Ian Rapoport was the first to break the news that the New England Patriots will release cornerback Alfonzo Dennard.
Here’s the thing about Dennard: he’s a very talented player, but his work ethic has been questioned at times by teammates. Evidently, the Patriots wanted to move on and revise the depth chart at cornerback without the former Cornhusker.
With Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, and Alfonzo Dennard all gone, the Patriots are pretty much starting fresh at cornerback. Logan Ryan and Malcolm Butler are the only remaining cover men from the Super XLIX team. That’s a problem.
