FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The New England Patriots have released receiver
Brandon Lloyd and re-signed defensive backs Aqib Talib, Kyle Arrington and
Adrian Wilson.
The team made the announcements on Saturday.
Arrington tied for the NFL lead in 2011 with seven interceptions. Wilson is
a five-time Pro Bowl selection who holds the NFL record for most sacks in a
season by a defensive back, eight, and is the sixth player in NFL history to
record 25 sacks and 25 interceptions in his career.
Talib was acquired by New England in a trade with Tampa Bay on Nov. 1 for a
2013 fourth-round draft pick. He started in five of six games for New England
after the trade and had 19 tackles and an interception that he returned 59
yards for a touchdown.
Lloyd had 74 receptions for 911 yards and four touchdowns last season for
New England, with 12 receptions for 102 yards and one touchdown in two playoff
games.
