Reports are coming out of New England that the Patriots have informed former second round pick Chad Jackson that he will be released.

The ...

Mike Reiss is reporting that the Patriots informed wide receiver Chad Jackson this morning that they are cutting him from the roster. This is somewhat of a surprise considering he was one of very few who had a good pre season, but they gave him 3 seasons and he didn't turn out like he was supposed to.
