The Patriots sent home both Chris Simms and Tim Rattay yesterday, both without a workout. Adam Schefter reports:
The mysterious Patriots keep getting more mysterious.
They brought in quarterbacks Chris Simms and Tim Rattay on Monday. Once they arrived, they were told the situation had changed and they no longer were needed.
So Simms and Rattay left Foxborough, Mass., without a workout or a contract.
The Patriots have to have something in the works — a trade, eyes on another quarterback, something. But the mystery surrounding the Patriots only intensifies.
What could this mean?
Maybe the Patriots are just staying pat, with Cassel and O’Connell as their only players at the quarterback position.
Or possibly, the Patriots have something in the works already. Whether a contract with a bigger free agent (Daunte Culpepper), or a better fitting free agent (Vinny Testaverde). Or possibly there is a trade brewing, something that could go through within the next day or two.
However, keep in mind, that, and I’m assuming, that Tom Brady’s roster vacancy went straight to Kevin Faulk, but I could be wrong.

I think Pas need to be looking at Lorenzen as a back-up or possibly to lead.He has awsome arm strength and with Moss out there Pats could be unstoppable.

I think our qb is Kevin Faulk or Randy Moss!
