Quote:Defensive tackle Dominique Easley hasn’t landed a new job since being released by the Patriots this offseason, but he’s reportedly spent some time trying to convince teams to bring him on board.
Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports that Easley, a 2014 first-round pick, worked out for the Bengals recently. Howe reports Easley has also worked out for other unnamed teams and Falcons coach Dan Quinn said that he’s spoken to a player he coached at the University of Florida.
It’s not clear exactly when the Bengals spoke to Easley. They had decent depth at defensive tackle heading into the draft and added Andrew Billings with a fourth-round pick that some think was a steal given Billings’ play in college.
Easley had good moments when he was on the field for the Patriots, although injuries kept him out of 10 games during his first two seasons with the team. There was also talk of issues with Easley in the locker room after his release, although the Patriots haven’t shared anything about their reasons for parting ways with Easley so soon.
