Another moderately stunning move by BB & Co. today, as former third-round draft choice Tyrone McKenzie has been released. The Patriots needed a roster spot after claiming rookie O-lineman Steve Maneri (6-6, 290) off waivers from the Houston Texans. Maneri signed with the Texans this past May as an undrafted free agent out of Temple University. New England also confirmed its trades for LB Tracy White and S Jarrad Page.
