If you believe that Underwood’s release was strictly a roster move (I have my doubts), the Football Gods took their revenge out on the Patriots.
The good news for Underwood, he still gets paid for the Super Bowl and now he is back on the team.
One of the surprising stories of Super Bowl weekend was that the Patriots released wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on Saturday afternoon, just a day before the big game. But both sides insisted there were no hard feelings involved, and Underwood has already been brought back into the fold.
Ian R. Rapoport of the Boston Herald reports that the Patriots have signed Underwood. That means he’ll be able to participate in offseason workouts and minicamps with the team, and he’ll be there at the start of training camp. As long as he doesn’t get cut again.
