Patriots Release WR Kenny Britt
The move leaves the already thin Patriots wide receiver depth chart with one less option.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Patriots are out a wide receiver after being unable to make things work with a former 1,000-yard receiver.
Kenny Britt's agent has confirmed reports that his client has been released by the team. He was signed last year after a short stint in Cleveland, but never seemed to click with Tom Brady and the offense.
Britt entered 2017 after a season which saw him catch 68 passes for 1,002 yards and five yards. He was released from the Browns after nine games and signed with New England, playing three games and catching only two balls. He was left inactive for the Super Bowl.

Throughout training camp, he never seemed to be on the same page as the team and suffered a hamstring injury during minicamp in June.

The release leaves the team with Julian Edelman, who is suspended for the first four games of the year, Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Eric Decker at the top of the depth chart.
