The New England Patriots released former starting center Bryan Stork early Wednesday, according to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.
Stork, who was selected by the Patriots as a fourth-round draft pick out of Florida State in 2014, started 17 games for New England.
Stork’s name was thrown around in low-level trade rumors throughout the offseason, although it appears that Patriots coach Bill Belichick couldn’t find anything worth his time. There seems to remain no doubt, however, that the center will get some tryouts around the league over the next few weeks if he clears waivers given the string of injuries at the position.
As NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo recently stated, the Bears are currently exploring potential trades for a center. After Hroniss Grasu injured his ACL, the team installed Ted Larsen in his place but have kept an eye out for a potential challenger.
