The move saves New England a significant chunk of change.

The cornerback was late to the team hotel before its Week 9 game.

He reportedly called it a “swing and a miss.”

The cornerback reportedly declined to enter the Week 4 matchup because he wasn’t warm enough to play.

Bill Belichick and the Patriots are making moves, bringing a familiar face back into the mix.

The cornerback is in the second year of a five-year contract.
