The words “Patriots” and “violation” have been in the same sentence more often than they should be over the last 20+ years. On Wednesday night, they were together again. Before that, the Patriots announced early in the afternoon that the first OTA open to the media on Thursday had been cancelled.

The Patriots released offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste on Thursday and saved $2.75 million in the process. Cajuste was the last man standing from the ill-fated draft class of 2019.
