Shadowy, Baseless Dominique Easley Speculation





A few thoughts about the release of New England Patriots DL Dominque Easley:

- Dom has an extensive injury history. He's wrecked both of his knees, has never finished an adult season healthy, and will now be someone else's problem.

- Perhaps the Pats had a look at his knees, saw something they couldn't stand, and bailed out early.

- Dominque is Easley the worst draft pick of the 2010s for Bill Belichick.

- He just converted to Islam last month. Perhaps he either turned up on the wrong Homeland Security list, or the FBI came calling about his activities? This is our wildest guess, it is an ugly guess, and I have no reason to believe it's true. We're just kicking up ideas here following the unexpected release of a 23 year old kid ranked 12th in the NFL at his position by Pro Football Focus.

- I do wonder if, when you release a player who has the FBI calling about him, you are obligated to tell potential suitors about it... kinda like when you buy a house that someone died in?

- Belichick has determined that not only will Donald Trump win the election, but that Trump will deport Muslims once he is President.

- He was in Miami on the night of the Tray Walker accident, and is often mentioned as the Patriots player that the police were interested in speaking with. After the Hernandez circus, they can't afford to have a second player turn up in a trial.

- Various player movements could speak of the Pats going back to a 3-4 defense.  If the knee won't hold up on a 3-4 D-Line and he's too hobbled to play LB, there's not much we can do with him.

- Belichick's legal people found a mistake in the wording in the penalty issued by the NFL over Deflategate which says they have to give up a first round draft pick... but not which first round draft pick.

- Dominique is somehow able to suffer knee injuries while playing Madden.

- Easley is an avid motorcycle guy with a clause in his contract prohibiting motorcycles. The Pats found out and stand a chance of getting out of a first-rounder contract with an oft-injured player.

- Check that... he likes regular bikes.
