Visted 1 times

The Patriots cut receiver Tiquan Underwood football jerseys on Saturday, less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl, and replaced him on the roster with his former Rutgers teammate Alex Silvestro.The move was curious only because of its timing. Underwood was not expected to have a big role in the NFL jerseys wholesale game, and Silvestro figures to offer only depth on the defensive line.But despite what had to be crushing news, Underwood took the high road in comments he made on Twitter.It is unclear what was behind the move, or its timing — The Boston Herald reported NFL jerseys that it was not a disciplinary move — but depending on your point of view, the move shows off the Patriots’ ruthless commitment to winning no matter the personal cost, or exposes them as the coldest-hearted team in football.Which is it for you?
