Patriots speedster Tyquan Thornton cut
As one of only three squads to carry seven wide receivers for much of the campaign, the Patriots are finally clearing some of their depth. The team has cut wideout Tyquan Thornton, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
A 2022 second-round pick out of Baylor, Thornton struggled to carve out a role in New England. The wideout showed some flashes as a rookie, hauling in 22 catches for 247 yards and two touchdowns while starting nine of his 13 appearances. Thanks in part to inconsistent QB play, Thornton struggled as a sophomore, finishing with only 13 catches while missing a chunk of the season with a shoulder injury. While the Patriots underwent significant changes during the offseason (including to their offense), Thornton hasn’t been able to revive his career. The wideout saw a fair share of snaps to start the season with Kendrick Bourne and Kayshon Boutte sidelined. However, as the receivers room got back to full strength, Thornton found himself on the outside looking in. Over the past six weeks, the third-year WR has seen the field for only 13 offensive snaps (with 12 of those snaps coming in Week 8). In addition to Bourne and Boutte, Thornton also found himself behind the likes of Demario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk, and K.J. Osborn in the pecking order. While Osborn is an impending free agent, the Patriots decided to move on from Thornton despite one year remaining on his rookie contract. Another squad could inherit that contract by making a waiver claim, and NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe notes that the receiver is healthy and “ready for his next opportunity.” https://www.profootballrumors.com/20...rnton#ref=home |

Looks like he has been more productive than Skyy?
He has been in a horrible offense with horrible QBs. Still on a rookie contract, why not. Churning the bottom of the WR room, Im good with that. |

Wide receivers that aren't already good, no thanks
We don't seem to develop them, they are either good or not. They are what they are is what it looks like to me. |

What would it hurt- Juju hamstrings or knees could go out in any game.

If he had some NFL-level attribute besides being fast I'd be moderately interested. But that doesn't appear to be the case here.
