The New England Patriots plan to release starting linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley, multiple media outlets reported on Friday.
Bentley appeared to confirm the reports on social media, writing “New England!! Thank You for Everything!! It’s Been a Blessing.”
A three-time captain, Bentley played in just two games last season after sustaining a torn left pectoral muscle.
Bentley, 28, recorded triple-digit tackle totals in his previous three seasons with the team.
A Super Bowl champion with New England, Bentley totaled 509 tackles, 10.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 83 career games (68 starts). He was selected by the Patriots in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft of Purdue.
Bentley was scheduled to earn a $4.35 million base salary this season.
