The Patriots have trimmed their quarterback group by one.
Earlier today, they released QB Jonathan Crompton, a former University of Tennessee star who signed with the Pats practice squad in November. His agent Joel Turner confirmed the news.
Crompton was a 2010 fifth round draft pick by the Chargers who has not taken an NFL snap. He’ll be subject to the NFL’s waiver wire, but because he was cut so late, he may not go on it until tomorrow. That means he could find a new home on Wednesday.
Crompton had been the No. 3 quarterback but third-rounder Ryan Mallett had already moved ahead of him, despite being in the early stages of learning the playbook.

am I the only guy that thinks Mallett isn't intelligent enough to handle the pro's?

Actually Mallett isn't even on the depth chart yet. His and Ridley's deals were denied by the NFL board.

From the Mallet Caption thread
Uh no bro I don't want to be friends. I struggle with goodbyes.

Crompton was released the minute the Pats drafted Ryan Mallett.
good luck to Crompdaddy. I bashed him so much in 2008 I feel so bad.

I'm pretty sure a star doesn't receive multiple death threats from his own fans.

a depth chart won't keep the highest man on the planet down for long

Mallet will be a better pro than Newton. Book it.
