Hey all --

The Patriots just announced that they have released safety Tebucky Jones before Jones even played a regular-season down for the team in his second go-round in New England.

The 32-year old Jones was re-signed by the Pats before the 2006 season, primarily as a special teams specialist, but he was injured in the preseason and spent the entire year on injured reserve.

A former Syracuse standout, Jones was originally drafted by New England in the first round (22nd overall) of the 1998 draft. He spent the first five years of his nine-year career with the Pats before the team franchised and then traded him to New Orleans in 2003. He spent the '05 season with the Dolphins.
