Patriots Even though New England handed Robinson a two-year deal, it only contained $150,000 in guaranteed money
Less than three months after signing him to a two-year contract, the Patriots waived running back James Robinson on Monday following the first day of the team's mandatory minicamp.New England also waived cornerback Tae Hayes.

The New England Patriots took a "throw it on the wall and see what sticks" approach at offensive tackle this offseason, and it appears they might not be done adding bodies to the position.As first reported by theScore's Jordan Schultz, they have brought in veteran tackle D.J. Fluker for a free agency workout.

The New England Patriots entered the third and final phase of their offseason workout program earlier this week, taking another step in their preparation for the 2023 season.As part of that process, we will also get our first up-close look at the new jersey numbers handed out to veteran members of the team.

With the NFL free agency and draft both in the rear-view mirror, and the second phase of voluntary offseason workouts underway, the New England Patriots are officially "on to 2023."At the moment, the Patriots have a full 90-man roster.Only 53 of those players will be able to survive roster cutdowns and ultimately make the active team, with others competing for practice squad spots.

The New England Patriots added to their cornerback group on Tuesday.As the team announced, Tae Hayes was brought back into the fold after already spending time on the practice squad and active roster down the stretch in 2022.Hayes was originally waived in mid-February, but three months later has now returned.

ATLANTA - Vaughn Grissom had two hits, including a single to drive in the go-ahead run in Atlanta's four-run eighth inning, and the Braves rallied to overcome a strong start by Miami's Sandy Alcantara and beat the Marlins 6-4 on Wednesday night.Dylan Floro (1-1) blew a 4-2 lead in the eighth, which began with Matt Olson's seventh homer.

The Marlins made a peculiar trade, acquiring 31-year-old outfielder Jonathan Davis from the Tigers for outfield prospect Brady Allen, their fifth-round pick from the 2021 MLB Draft.Davis hasn't shown much pop in his previous MLB opportunities (.185/.291/.245,54 wRC+ in 350 PA), but he can run and his center field defense for the Brewers last season was very highly regarded by outs above average (5 OAA in 228 1⁄3 innings).
