The Patriots just made a roster shake-up, claiming wide receiver Kobe Prentice off waivers on Saturday. Talk about a quick turnaround, because Prentice was actually dropped by the Panthers just the day before.
Man, you gotta love the grind for guys like Prentice. He went undrafted out of Baylor back in April, but he put up some solid numbers in his final college season, reeling in 26 receptions for 380 yards and snagging six touchdowns. Now he gets a fresh start with New England, and that’s what this league is all about sometimes: getting that second chance.
To make room for Prentice, the Patriots waived offensive lineman Sebastian Gutierrez. Gutierrez, another undrafted free agent from the 2022 class with the Broncos, has bounced around a bit himself, including a couple of tours on the New England practice squad. He’d appeared in two regular season games. It’s tough business in the NFL, where one guy’s opportunity often means another guy’s door closes. This move shows the Patriots are ready to keep shuffling the deck to find the right pieces.
