Shane Watts News: Let go by Pats

New England waived Watts on Friday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

Watts is among the first of what will be a slew of roster cuts for the Patriots, as next week's deadline to cut down to 53 players looms. The undrafted rookie out of Fort Hays State will work to secure work on a practice squad this season, whether with New England or elsewhere in the league.
