Patriots Release Lawrence Guy

9 months ago

The New England Patriots released veteran starting defensive lineman Lawrence Guy on Monday, according to a source. The Patriots are releasing the two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year early so that he can pursue other opportunities before the new league year opens. The 33-year-old should have a strong market in free agency. He was set to make $2 million in the final year of his contract in 2024 with another $1 million in per-game bonuses. The Patriots will save $3 million against the salary cap with the move. Guy leaves New England after seven years with the team, including a Super Bowl championship. The former seventh-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2011 out of Arizona State had 38 tackles (16 solo) in 17 games (12 starts) in 2023 in his final year with the Pats.
