FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots released receiver Reche Caldwell on Monday, according to a league source cited by the Boston Globe.


Caldwell was New England's leading receiver last season, and was one of six receivers on the Patriots' 53-man roster submitted on Saturday.

The other Patriot receivers are Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, Wes Welker, Jabar Gaffney and Kelley Washington.

Moss missed much of the preseason with an injury, but says he's ready to play in the Patriots' opener Sunday against the New York Jets.

Also Monday, the Patriots re-signed tight end Marcellus Rivers and claimed rookie linebacker David Herron off waivers.

The team also signed seven players to the practice squad: wide receivers Bam Childress and C.J. Jones, fullback Kyle Eckel, linebacker Corey Mays, tackle Clint Oldenburg, defensive lineman Santonio Thomas and tight end Jason Rader.

Rivers, in his sixth year, had been released Saturday by the Patriots. He played previously with the Giants and Texans. He has played in 75 NFL games over five seasons.

go get em

I for one would love to see this guy in a Chiefs uniform...

Reche Caldwell > Jeff Webb

and Scan...whoops i mean Sippio

fyp..Caldwell imo is better than EK as well, of course he did have Brady to throw him the ball though

Sign him, PLEASE cut Parker.

No. Caldwell sucks. Poor man's Samie Parker.

Nominated for lexicon - or just perhaps a Planet truthism. Anytime another player is released, no matter who they are, someone will post wanting us to bring them in.

Whenever someone is cut from the other team and someone starts a thread the second response is always this one.

Reche Caldwell is much better than Samie Parker.

Isn't this the guy who dropped like 3 wide open passes in the AFC title game?

His bug-eyes will get even bigger once he sees how horrendous Samie is.

grass is always greener, especially from the patriots

The only reason he's had a decent season is because of Tom Brady. He's not even all that big or fast. I don't like Samie but at least he's kinda fast.

Which is less than any of our receivers dropped in our playoff game

Parker sucks so bad --- he can't even catch a cold !!! :shake:

Well, I'm sold!

You said it yourself, Parker doesn't play fast.

I'm gonna have to agree with Go Chiefs on this one. The Patriots had absolutely nobody else to throw to last year. Tom Brady is going to have to throw to someone. They get in quality wide receivers Stallworth and Moss and look what they do, they cut him. They know he isn't any good. If you put Samie Parker as NE #1 receiver last year, he puts up the same numbers if not better.

Yes he is. I think before that he was cast out of San Diego. I think it would be best to steer clear of this cat, but Parker does suck a big one.

Brady would stop throwing to him since he catches 1 of 5 passes his way. Belicheck would have better sense than to keep this clown.

Your joking right? Parker couldn't catch the ball if you walked up to him and placed it in his ****ing hands

Now is your chance Carl dump your "man-crush" SP.

Reche Caldwell sucks and hes on some serious Tweak.

I had too many WR's in that league anyway. And that was an autopick draft!

You guys are placing too much emphasis on drops. Drops is not really a relevant stat. Neither Caldwell nor Parker had more than 5 drops. Some of the best receivers lead the league in drops. And don't tell me that is because they get thrown to more, because per balls thrown at them they still lead in drops per attempt. Look at TO, one of the best receivers in the league. TO never could catch, he still is dominant. Randy Moss also averages a ton of drops per pass thrown as welll. It's more about route running than "catching". I agree Parker doesn't run the best routes, but Caldwell isn't any better. He hadn't done shit for the Chargers either, even playing in all of the games. He never had more than 350 yards until he was thrust into a role last year where the Patriots were forced throw to someone, anyone.

Difference is that those guys actually catch a pass every now and then. Parker doesn't get open very often, and when the qb is able to throw the ball his way, he usually drops it. It might be different if he made some plays and scored some touchdowns, but it seems like everything thrown his way is dropped. TO and Moss make plays, Parker just sucks

Thats the whole tweak thing I just mentioned.

Not to mention he has a serious case of fumblitis.

Caldwell is so good that the Patriots went out and signed Moss, Welker, Stallworth, and Washington.

Exactly.

Anyone can thrive under Brady. Except Parker.

wow you clowns are pathetic begging for the chiefs to sign reche freakin caldwell
