They do have a good track record, but like every team, they do ditch useful players sometimes.
Specifically mentioned them cutting people, rather than just losing them in FA.
I guess technically they cut Wilfork since they turned down his option, but wasn't he absolutely awful last year? He had 6 solo tackles in 16 starts (22 total tackles), and zero other stats.
Points of Ty Law, didn't think of him.
Lawyer Milloy I will point out he went to 4 straight Pro Bowls with the Patriots, including one 1st Team All-Pro and one 2nd Team All-Pro.. but once they released him, he didn't have a single other one in the final 8 years of his career, even if he was good. I'll give you points on that one, though.

But yeah, more specifically was looking for people who got cut.
If the list is Milloy 14 years ago, Ty Law 12 years ago. If Brandon Tate (bleh), is the best they've cut in the last decade, then that's a pretty big drought of cut talent.
Actually not sure how that fairs against other teams, actually. Would probably be an interesting workup.
