Patriots Pass on Pass Once Again

The New England Patriots signed running back Patrick Pass, a former Patriot who spent last season out of the league, to the team’s roster last Thursday, June 4, but the Pats announced yesterday that they had once again cut him, bringing an abrupt end to Pass’ NFL comeback for now. Pass attended workouts with the Patriots last week and this week before getting the axe from the team yesterday, putting him back on the market as a free agent.

Pass has a long history with the Patriots, playing for the team from 2000-2006 as a backup. He is a very versatile player who has played positions as running back, blocking back and fullback. As part of his stint with the Pats last week, Pass was one of only seven remaining Patriots on the team who were on all three of the team’s championship Super Bowl teams. The Pats may have signed Pass and let him go a week later as a way to try and put his name back into the mix in the NFL, but nothing is for certain. Pass has been out of the league since after 2007, when he was cut after playing one game with the New York Giants.
