When I read your headline "Testaverde, Brown biggest cuts" my heart stopped for a second - I thought you meant Troy Brown. I wouldn't call Chad Brown a "big cut".

Two players I didn't think were going to be cut are Garrett Mills and Marcellus Rivers. Perhaps they are "safe" cuts and BB doesn't think they will be picked up by anyone else.
Mike - my apologies. I wasn't thinking to write 'C. Brown'. And that was part of the point of the headline -- though Vinny and Chad are good guys, they aren't big cuts. Now Troy Brown, that would have been big...-smy

Is C.J Jones released?

Thanks
Robert - yes, C.J. was among the cuts. He likely will return to the Pats as a member of the practice squad. - smy
