Football Betting Lines
09/04/2010 - Foxborough, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Linebackers Eric Alexander, Derrick Burgess and Pierre Woods, all of whom had a role with the Patriots in past years, were released as part of New England's "cut-down-day" roster maneuvers on Saturday.
Alexander was a special teams ace who appeared in 45 games with New England over the past six seasons (2004-09), including a career-high-tying 14 appearances for the LSU product last season.
The former two-time Pro Bowler Burgess appeared in all 16 games with the Patriots last season, recording five sacks, and looked to have a good chance to make the team after being re-signed in May.
Woods appeared in 52 games with New England over the past four seasons (2006-09), including five starts at linebacker a year ago.
Also released were wide receiver Sam Aiken, safety Sergio Brown, offensive lineman George Bussey, tight end Carson Butler, running back Thomas Clayton, wide receiver Buddy Farnham, wide receiver Darnell Jenkins, offensive lineman Ted Larsen, tight end Rob Myers, offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, wide receiver Rod Owens, quarterback Zac Robinson, running back Chris Taylor, defensive back Ross Ventrone, offensive lineman Thomas Welch, linebacker Thomas Williams and cornerback DeAngelo Willingham.
In other news, the team placed safety Brandon McGowan, an 11-game starter in 2009, on season-ending injured reserve with a chest injury.
Also on Saturday, the Patriots acquired veteran linebacker Tracy White from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for an undisclosed 2012 draft choice, as well as obtaining safety Jarrad Page from the Chiefs for a conditional choice.
White is a seven-year NFL veteran with previous experience as a member of the Eagles (2008-09), Packers (2006-08), Jaguars (2005) and Seahawks (2003-04).
Page, who was involved in a contract dispute with the Chiefs and did not report to the team in training camp, started 39 games with Kansas City from 2006 through 2009.
On Friday, New England released offensive lineman Eric Ghiaciuc and defensive lineman Damione Lewis.
The Patriots will begin their regular season next Sunday, when they welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to Gillette Stadium.
