Patriots Consider Cutting Linebacker Jennings

NFL teams are shifting focus to the 2026 season, with several squads already eyeing roster cuts. For the New England Patriots, linebacker and for knee Jennings tops the list as a potential release before the New League year starts on March 11th. Analyst Thomas Valentine, from Pro Football Focus, named Jennings as the top-cut candidate for New England. He performed decently last year with a 67.1 player grade and 20 pressures from week 12 through the Super Bowl. Jennings has been a steady contributor since the Patriots drafted him in the third round of the 2020 draft. Fans and insiders see his value on defense, but his role might shrink with younger talent emerging, releasing him would save the team $3.8 million against the cap. That cash could help fund a big extension for edge-rusher K. Levantche Sainte or other moves.
