Beat me to it.

2 mill off the books is good. I hope Wright either stops getting concussed or retires.

Can't wait to see Ohrnberger's response on Twitter.

Mike Wright needs to retire for his own health.

Sad about Mike Wright. He was my 2nd fav pats player behind Vrabel. I hope he retires.

As for Rich, good riddance.

Can't say I'm too surprised by either move. Would have liked to have seen Wright resume his career, but it's probably best if he retires. Ohrnberger was just garbage; even torn-groin Ellis Hobbs, who was essentially traded straight up for him, would have been better.

Ohrnberger never made sense to me. One of my least favorite Belichick picks. No clue what they ever saw in him.

Come on, when you have a chance to draft a woefully undersized offensive lineman from Penn St. that tells corny jokes and is roughly as strong as the evidence supporting Jerry Sandusky's innocence, you have to pounce...

Well, at least now Ohrnberger will have time to devote to his comedy career.

I loved Ellis Hobbs. Damn shame an injury ended his career prematurely Sad
