New England Patriots TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins was released Tuesday, June 4. Seferian-Jenkins reportedly wants to ‘step away for a month’ due to personal issues.

Footballguys View: The Patriots are now really thin at the tight end position. Ben Watson is suspended for the first four games of the season, and that leaves former Broncos tight end Matt LaCosse as their top option. We’ll see if the team makes a move here.
