Jalen Reagor was cut by the New England Patriots on Tuesday, the same day he shared an interesting post on Instagram.
Early on Tuesday morning, Reagor posted a meme to his Instagram Story. The meme photo shows a sports car in the garage of a mobile home, and it is often used to convey that a player of high quality isn’t being utilized by a team properly.

You have to wonder if the veteran wide receiver is unhappy being on New England’s practice squad.

Hours later, the Patriots shared the news via social media that Reagor had been released from the team’s practice squad.

It’s unclear whether the team cut Reagor as punishment for his post, or if they did so in accordance with the wide receiver’s expressed wishes.
Reagor was a 1st-round pick by the Eagles in 2020 out of TCU and has been a disappointment. He appeared in 11 games for the Patriots last season and had 7 catches for 138 yards.
The 25-year-old receiver has played for three different teams over the last three seasons.
