Sebastian Vollmer

Sebastian Vollmer will be released by the Patriots, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports. Vollmer had a hip injury held him out for the entire 2016 season, and the veteran would have been owed $2.25 million in 2017, an amount that didn't seem worth it considering Vollmer's health issues.

Fantasy Impact

Vollmer has been one of the Patriots offensive linemen over the course of his eight-year career, starting 80 games over that time frame. However while missing this past season he was replaced by Marcus Cannon who did an outstanding job replacing Vollmer. The veteran tackle may retire but also could find work with a team needing line help.
