Patriots releasing longtime starting defensive lineman Lawrence Guy

The New England Patriots are reportedly releasing veteran defensive lineman Lawrence Guy.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news on Monday.

Guy, 33, will now have an opportunity to go out and test the free agent market after spending the last seven seasons in New England. The Patriots are likely looking to get younger on defense, while also shoring up extra cap space to make bigger moves in free agency.

Guy has served as one of the key veterans on the Patriots’ defense, including the team’s last championship run in the 2018 season.
