The New England Patriots made a somewhat surprising decision on Friday to release veteran safety Jabrill Peppers, and one of their former players was quick to criticize them for it.
Peppers, who has been a full-time starter in New England over the last two seasons, was cut by the Patriots days after he was placed on the initial roster. There has been speculation that he had an off-field issue, but it appears that head coach Mike Vrabel decided the 29-year-old is no longer a good fit.
Veteran linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley, who was also released by the Patriots earlier this offseason, took a shot at the team shortly after the Peppers news surfaced. Bentley first wrote “crazy” in a post on social media, and a follower replied asking him if he thinks Peppers was released because of a “scheme fit” issue.
That’s when Bentley became more critical of his former team.
“Where (sic) great players can’t play in it? Must (sic) be a helluva scheme,” Bentley wrote.
