The marriage between the Pats and veteran WR Raggie didn’t last too long. Wayne was brought in late during training camp, but now that camp has come to an end, it’s being reported that Wayne will not be on the final 53-man roster. According to Adam Schefter, he asked the Pats to release him.
For whatever reason, Wayne seems to have not been comfortable with the Pats’ culture. Things didn’t turn out too badly for him, however. The Pats awarded him with a $450K signing bonus.
WR Reggie Wayne asked to be released, according to source.

A source just told me that #Patriots WR Reggie Wayne “will not be on 53.” Added, “he will not be there."

The Patriots gave Reggie Wayne a $450,000 signing bonus for a week of practice. Nice hourly rate he has there.
