Getty ImagesPatriots tight end Kellen Winslow reportedly asked to be released. Some have speculated that he simply decided he no longer could play with chronic knee pain.
Undermining that theory is the fact that he’s been playing with chronic knee pain for six years.
Further undermining that theory is the fact that Winslow hopes to land with a new team.
“I’m lookin forward to my next opportunity in the NFL and continuing to play the game I Love!” Winslow declared on Twitter.
And so it’s still not known why Winslow asked to be cut, especially since he also expressed gratitude to the team.

His career is over. Not because of his knees but because of his attitude. He’s a tight end version of T.O.
He would be playing for Seattle right now if he wasn’t too stubborn to accept a pay cut from his $3.3 million salary. How much are you getting paid now, you fool? Zilch!
As long as I don’t have to put my “toes on the line.”
He obviously wants more playing time.
His next NFL opportunity? Doing what? Working at the concession stand?
Some of these NFL players have an interesting way of dealing with their business in the NFL. One minute they say they don’t wanna play then 24hrs later they change their minds. They switch tunes within hours hahaha..please someone has to educate these grown men on how to interract with their fans at a pro level
In other words, he took one look at the Pat’s complex, multiple read, timing focused playbook and his head started spinning faster than Chad Johnson’s…..
Your next opportunity will be sitting on the couch.
Sounds like a sad dog sitting on the porch waiting for his dead master to come home.
PFC Winslow is awaiting his next deployment.
A receiver with The Patriots has to be above a rather high threshold Football I.Q….Just ask Chad!
Probably because Hernandez is gonna come back sooner than everyone expected and he wouldn’t get off the sidelines!!!
Just soldier on Kellen.

At being a NFL Ref. He heard they make some damn good money for a Part-time job. Beats Burger King work.
He’ll be a hotdog vendor at best.
Maybe he doesn’t like Tom and Bill?
DOes he know how to run the line painting machine or the field mower? He could be a replacement ref… oh that door closed.

==================================I agree, when Hernandez returns Winslow becomes a spectator.
A shadow of his dad. Now that guy could play football.
Stay off the motorcycle! Jay Williams, Kellen Winslow are perfect examples of great players that never amounted to what they could have been. Big Ben got lucky.
Time to order a “Code Red” on this soldier
Someone compared Winslow to T.O. That is not fair – T.O. actually was a game changer!
It’s over, tough guy.
The “soldier” comments are getting a little played out, don’t you think?
I just hope the young man saved his money.
He couldn’t figure out how to work the camera.

Best post of the day!
Too bad..Retreads are a good resting ground for the Over-ratriots.
Pats give the guy an opportunity and he requests to be released….Here was a chance for a guy to play on a good team- be a good guy and then next year sign a decent contract…Not sure who is going to sign this guy…
The Patriots wanted him to operate a Video Camera, and he only knows how to use his iphone.
Delta Force told him they wanted him at Ft Bragg. He doesn’t even have to go through training.
The troubles of being a ball-hog. His constant barking in the ears of QB’s for the ball are over. I think his new fav phrase will be ” Would you like to supersize that?”
Was glad to see him leave Tampa
REMEMBER Terrell Owens and Jeff Garcia = Winslow about Brady. Winslow got fed up with the drag show and the nose brace.
Get ya popcorn, ya peanuts, ya beers here… $7
I think Winslow could handle that…
Your next nfl gig
Navy Seals are looking for a few good men, and he doesn’t even need to speak Libyan.
what team is left?
First Master P, and now Kellen Winslow… another soldier gone up out da game.
He’s done
You would think a guy who’s never won anything anywhere would embrace the chance to play on a contender, with an HOF QB throwing him the ball, and an HOF coach running the program….priorities, Kellen….you’ve never figured out how to order yours properly, have you.
Time to order a “Code Red” on this soldier
———————————–
IIRC, “Code Red” is a term from the Marines only, and you don’t call a Marine “soldier”. Not if you want to keep living.

With his knees and his attitude, he wouldn’t last two days in SEAL training.
“With his knees and his attitude, he wouldn’t last two days in SEAL training.”
You think he might make 2 days? No chance of him staying for one.
There’s no better place to be for a TE than New England
At ease, soldier!
Released from 3 teams in 1 1/2 months? The writing is surely on the wall.
I thought he was a solider?
He’s a head-case…probably saw how Bill ran his ship and was like hell-nah to strict around here and peaced out!
I bet te NFL would hire him to talk at the rookie seminar , like PAC man ….
He can be the next useless talking head.
I’m trying to remember a player so disliked to the absolute bone who hasn’t broken the law etc. Could he literally be the most obnoxious, self-centered egotist in the league? Should PFT take a poll? Could open up quite a discussion.
