The New England Patriots will not exercise the $20 million option on Darrelle Revis. This choice would incur a $25 million salary cap hit. Bran don Browner is allowed to explore his value around the league according to the Boston Herald. The St. Louis Rams released veteran linemen Jake Long and Scott Wells, saving $12 million against the $143.3 million cap.
