    From the Boston Globe:

    The Patriots announced the release of rookie free agent punter Mike Dragosavich today.

    Dragosavich, of North Dakota State, was originally signed May 5. He was competing against veterans Chris Hanson and Scott Player, with Hanson the incumbent after punting wire to wire for the Patriots last season.

    The Patriots probably would have liked to bring Dragosavich to training camp, but with a roster limit of 80 players (instead of the 86, with exemptions, from years past), there is more of a premium on back-end roster spots this year.

    Taking three punters to camp under those conditions was likely a luxury the team felt it couldn’t afford.
