Pats bounce Banta-Cain Posted by Mike Florio on October 19, 2009 5:52 PM ET A day after the Patriots created a widespread case of head scratching by deactivating linebacker Adalius Thomas, the Pats have sent fingers back to scalps throughout the football-watching world by cutting linebacker Tully Banta-Cain. Per a league source, the Pats cuts the veteran defender on Monday. "New England cutting him doesn't make sense," the source said. "He was playing pretty well for them." Banta-Cain was drafted by the Patriots in 2003. He signed with the 49ers in 2007. San Fran cut him in February 2009, and he re-signed a week later with the Patriots. He appeared in all six regular-season games, starting twice. Because the trade deadline has not passed, Banta-Cain will not pass through waivers. However, he'll be entitled to collect the remainder of his $620,000 base salary as termination pay, even if he signs with another team. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/

Just as he would not be in any rush to get to our opposing quarterbacks.

Pats might give a bigger role to Derrick Burgess.

A Peppers/Merriman trade could be a possibility.
