CALDWELL CUT BY PATS
The New England Patriots (http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm#) have released receiver Reche Caldwell (http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2007/09/caldwell_cut.html), according to Mike Reiss of the Boston Globe.

Caldwell started in 14 regular-season games for the Pats in 2006. He had the most receptions on the team with 61, and the most receiving yards with 760. He tied with Troy Brown for the most receiving touchdowns, with four.

The move leaves the Pats with five receivers on the roster, and should help to quiet rumors that Randy Moss is in danger of being dumped or traded.

An industry source told us earlier in the day of rumors that the Pats had been putting out the word that any of their receivers, with the exception of Wes Welker, were available via trade.

We assume that Caldwell was surprised by the news. But, then again, it would be hard to distinguish such an expression from his normal, non-surprised demeanor.

Should we scoop him back up?... :)

KIDDING!

[SuperMatt]

Apparently some paparazzi were on site and managed to get this photo of Reche's reaction to the news...

KIDDING!

Absolutely not...he can't hold onto the ball. Do you remember the story LT told about him (about how he was good on the practice field but sucked with contact and real game situations).

[LOBOthemainman]

Boy, when Moss doesn't live up to the hype they will be wishing they had not done that.

I actually believe moss will have a break out year for them.. as much as i hate the Pats, i aint gonna lie they look good in the WR position with moss, stallworth and welker in the slot, and not to mention having brady dont hurt at all...

[RAWDOGG]

Let's pick him up and down load their playbook, then cut his ass

I totally agree. I said it in another post, and I'll say it in this one; Brady doesn't need GOOD recievers to be successful and his WRs aren't chumps this year.

[red star]

lol awesome. This is the second time I've heard something like this recently. (First one was with Jets/Pats I think). Does this actually happen often?

[56lightsout56]

Boy, when Moss doesn't live up to the hype they will be wishing they had not done that.

It would be interesting to know how valid the bolded statement is which means that their "experiment" wasnt all that successful. The media threw loads of roses and heeped high praise at.

[Sam Adams]

All appearances would suggest that Moss will play football for the Patriots.

I'm still a little pessimistic about Moss, but, what the hay, Columbus took a chance.

...and failed. He never made it to India.

Yeah, trust me, I know. Hence why I put KIDDING in capital letters. Thought that would clearly indicate I was joking. And how is my post not the first one when I was the one who started this thread? How did it get bumped down to 2nd? Not sure how that works...

[SuperMatt]

...and failed. He never made it to India.

Oh right, now he's looked at as one of the most prolific failures in the history of the world.

Lol.

[o-line protag]

It wouldn't surprise me if Cam's Casualties of Canned Tuna dropped Camarillo and picked up Ricochet. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

Oh lighten up. he simply meant that his goal was to find a direct route to India not to discover a whole new continent.


Anyhow, I'm not saying this to be rude or as one of those internet retorts that attacks your grammar (it's the ex-editor in me), I don't think you meant to use "prolific" in that sentence. Prolific would imply that he continuously produced a series of failures. Just a heads-up.

[red star]

It wouldn't surprise me if Cam's Casualties of Canned Tuna dropped Camarillo and picked up Ricochet. It wouldn't surprise me at all.


You know, the thought occurred to me too. I wouldn't be surprised at all. The Fins are looking like a hodgepodge of Chargers and Dolphins more and more.

[ChargersFan55]

Well, Mr. Caldwell can have a job here in SD....... At the San Diego Zoo! :eek::D;)

[Boltbaby]

I have to say that it would make very good sense for Cam to pick him up...If he hadn't already poached Camarillo from us!

KIDDING!

After the way he acted in the playoff game ! NO THANKS

[ftwbolt]

It's just me, but I would take Camarillo's Up Side over Ricochet's anyday !

Thats so funny he probably at home making that same expression he make.

[LtsGirl]

:eek: Please turn his eyes off they scare me!:eek:

[boltpride515]

except for that bomb that he caught against us in the playoff game last year. LT said that?

Absolutely not...he can't hold onto the ball. Do you remember the story LT told about him (about how he was good on the practice field but sucked with contact and real game situations).

[mdsd77]

bwahahahahaha !!!

his favorite wine??


I wannnnnnna go to Miami !!!

[sdcsp95]

will the dolphins pick him up? they pick up every other ex charger in the leauge.

[Chargeroo]

Yeah i mean i understand the brady hate but lets be real, they are gonna win atleast 14 games this year at that... No way! You've been drinking the PATRIOTS COOL AID. They'll be just like the raiders and redskins have been - for the last two years all the pundits said the raiders and redskins won the free agent period and would be way better - how did it work out? It's going to be the same way for the Patriots. I think they'll win that division but they won't get 14 wins - no way. At the end of the season, they'll be looking to re-load that aging defense and replace those one year wonders - Stallworth and Moss.

[daboltz]

Poor Reche, I miss him.

[Bolt4Life]

I liked Reche when we had him.

[dlpung]

He might be picked up by Miami by Cam.

[Caslon]

The Chargers had a WR named Sweeney back about 10 years ago. I forget his first name. He got the same good luck (loser) treatment after the Chargers let him go. Pittsburg picked him up for nothing and he excelled there. Very much so.

Sometimes a change of scenery, team, city, changes a castoff into a respected player (by all).

It happens.

Caldwell might find his niche again. The chemistry of change.

[Jubilation T. Cornpone]

I remember that one handed catch for a touch. One of the few highlights of his Charger days. Of course we all remember the highlight of his Pat days. Ouch!!!!

[perryao]

Ouch!!!!Even that play reminded me of when he was a Charger in that he did not have great field awareness. He should have scored on that play but didn't realise how close he was to the sideline. How many times did he do something similar here??

5 and 805 come together again.

Unfortunately for us it was enough to win the game.
If he had scored we might have won the game.

[Caslon]

Do you mean Yancey Thigpen?

You might be right, maybe it was Thigpen. Didn't the Chargers also let go a Charger WR named Sweeney who was so-so with the Chargers and excelled with Pittsburg? That was back in 95-98. I believe so.

Anyways...my point was, that a so-so player can break out and be semi-stellar with a change of zipcode, among other factors.
A player bounces around, untill he's out. This is also a fact.

[Rivers_owns]

He almost single handedly won the Pats the game in January, so I for one am glad to see him off the team.

[williammg]

Yeah i mean i understand the brady hate but lets be real, they are gonna win atleast 14 games this year at that...
not 14, they will make the playoff, prob win the east, but not win 14 games

[TCUFAN5]

Yea but think about that team of WR they have.. the only stable one is Welker.. Donte and Randy are injury prone.. Donte will be out by week 2.. hammy..

[gazork]

Yes, kind of a surprising cut in the context of the rest of their WR's. Unless the Pats are sandbagging with Moss, he is up to the same-old-same-old which means he won't be a factor.

Maybe Reche wasn't working hard ...

[TCUFAN5]

yea.. i know..

Why not ? Bellycheck would do it to him ! :LightsOut:

[Charger Dave]

You liked watching all those catchable balls fall to the turf ?In all fairness, Ricochet finally overcame the "hands of stone" syndrome - problem was he exchanged it for fumbles at critical junctures IMO.

[JoeMcRugby]

Only for it to arise again in the AFC Championship Game. Too bad the return of "hands of stone" came one game too late.

[SDHEATCHARGER21]

man i rember wes walker was trying out with us and we cut him he was doing good bad move.

[Chargeroo]

man i rember wes walker was trying out with us and we cut him he was doing good bad move. You're only semi correct. They have to cut a player to put him on the Practice team. They wanted to put him on the practice team and keep him. He was offered the same thing by the Dolphins and he was mad at Marty for not putting him on the team. Actually, Marty didn't have a choice because of our salary cap situation at the time but Wes didn't understand that and left in a huff. One more point - if you look up the stats Wes has produced with the Dolphins he hasn't actually been as good as it looked like he was going to be.

[SDHEATCHARGER21]

oh i like u thats a proffesional way to put it I stand corrected, but i always see hype about him being speedy like tim dwight and his numbers looked solid last year heck he even kicked a 29yarder he was a good return man too.
