After making nine selections during the 2018 NFL draft, the New England Patriots filled out the rest of their 90-man offseason roster by signing undrafted rookie free agents. Overall, the team brought in nine players that did not hear their names called over the three days of the draft. One of which was Oklahoma State wide receiver Chris Lacy.
Today, after only one week in New England, the team opted to release the wideout according to a report by the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson. Despite the move happening before organized team activities even started, it hardly comes as a surprise: Lacy was facing a steep uphill battle to survive the Patriots’ wide receiver competition.
