#Panthers release 2011 3rd round DT Sione Fua, source says. Good shot to be claimed, though.

#Patriots release punter Zoltan Mesko, source says. Will save some money on this, but a bit surprised.

Somewhere, an ESPN producer just lost a job. He'll appeal, telling management that he'd be a great candidate for the newly-created opening for a "Geno Smith Producer", but it will be too little, too late. He'll take the drive down to the local Bristol Dive Bar where, joined by Skip Bayless and Stuart Scott, they'll split a fifth of Cutty Sark and sing about the better times.

But seriously, ESPN is labeling this BREAKING NEWS on TV and its website. For real?

Tim Tebow cut by New England Patriots

The Tim Tebow Experience is over in New England.

Tebow was released by the team on Saturday, ending another chapter in the former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback's wandering pro career, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport was told by a source informed of the move.
Despite the requisite fervor draped upon Tebow's every move, it's far from a surprising transaction if the Patriots intended to fill their 53-man roster with the best players available. With Ryan Mallett firmly in place as Tom Brady's backup, Tebow played himself out of the role during an underwhelming preseason.

Tebow was signed in June, a move that made some sense considering the presence of offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels -- Tebow's former coach with Denver Broncos -- and Bill Belichick, whose affinity for University of Florida players is well-documented. Still, the Patriots needed to see Tebow develop as a quarterback in time for the regular season, and he didn't come close: His 11-of-30 passing performance over three appearances netted just 145 yards, with a pair of touchdowns and two picks.

Coming off an unproductive, chaotic 2012 campaign with the New York Jets, it's fair to wonder if Tebow's days in the NFL have drawn to a close.

Asked after Thursday's preseason finale against the New York Giants if he was worried about floating on the roster bubble, Tebow was typically stoic:

"I'm blessed, because of my faith, that I don't have to worry about the future because I know who holds my future," Tebow told reporters. "It's something I try to live by. It really gives you a lot of peace in whatever circumstance I'm in."

Those circumstances, today, will pull Tebow away from New England. Where he lands next is anyone's guess.

How awesome would it be if Tebow signed with the Raiders.

Truly awesome.

Tim Tebow cut was expected.

How about the Packers cutting Vince Young? I realize he hasn't played well, but are they really going into the season with only B.J. Coleman behind Rodgers? Think they'll be picking up someone elses scraps?

Don't we already have enough Clay here?

@Vinceyoung
