J. Miller cut

Hey all --

We realize this isn't so much news now, but we had issues in posting earlier (not operator error, if you can believe that) and were not able to get on the blog for a couple of hours.

Josh Miller has been released by New England, leading the way for Danny Baugher to claim the starting role as punter.

Miller, a 37-year old veteran of 13 NFL seasons (plus a couple in the CFL before that) was placed on injured reserve last year with a shoulder injury and things haven't looked good for him since -- the Patriots tried to keep Todd Sauerbrun, who spent the final five games of the season with the team, and also had Baugher and Tom Malone on the practice squad. In training camp, Matt Cassel has been holding on field goals, which was once Miller's job, and in the preseason opener, Miller never got on the field after warm-ups.
