Patriots Release Punter Bryce Baringer In IR Crunch Move
The New England Patriots released punter Bryce Baringer, a three-year starter who was placed on IR on September 1 and was in the final year of his deal at roughly $1.2 million. The move is framed as ruthless but practical: New England has only five IR return slots left with starters like Romeo Doubs and Jevon Holland waiting to come back, and Mitch Wishnowsky has punted well in Baringer's absence. The release also lets Baringer pursue a fresh long-term opportunity rather than sit on IR all season.
