Edelman was the MVP of Super Bowl LIII with the Patriots, but injuries limited him to just six games in 2020. On Monday, the team announced that they have officially released the veteran wide receiver, who ranks second in team history in receptions, fourth in receiving yards, ninth in receiving touchdowns. The Patriots terminated his contract following a failed physical, and he faces a difficult recovery after undergoing knee surgery in October. ESPN’s Mike Reiss — who covers the Patriots — reports that Edelman has been mulling retirement and that this could be a precursor to that announcement.
