MARQUES MURRELL RUMORS

The New England Patriots release linebacker Marques Murrell

The Patriots have released 26-year old OLB Marques Murrell.  Murrell played in 1 game for the Patriots last year and he had 1 tackle.  He has now played in 23 games in his first three years in the NFL and he has 22 tackles and 3 forced fumbles.  This isn’t much of a loss at all for the Patriots, as Murrell would have had a hard time getting onto the field at all in 2011.

Marques Murrell is another STs ace but his performance at OLB was a pleasant surprise. Dane Fletcher has surprised but with a crowded spot at ILB he will be a solid candidate for the practice squad. Right now a lot will depend upon how many LBs the team decides to carry

It looked a little scary for Patriots outside linebacker Marques Murrell today. One minute he was lining up with the first-team unit on the edge. The next moment, trainers were rushing to get him ice. Then, he was whisked away on a golf cart. Yikes. Turns out, Murrell’s ailment is related to cramps he was suffering from during the sweltering workout, I’m told. He was...

Weeks) as WEEI radio has reported that OLB Marques Murrell has agreed to join the Patriots (Hat tip to Mel) In truth, this is not a major loss for the Jets, who obviously feel Jamaal Westerman has more upside and probably intend to sign or draft another pass rusher this offseason.
