Belichick speaks on the release of Damione Lewis

Here is what Patriots coach Bill Belichick had to say about the team's surprising releasing of veteran defensive lineman Damione Lewis.

"I like a lot of things about Damione," Belichick said. "He's a solid guy. He's a good player. He's smart. He works hard. Just in the end we felt like we had some other people ahead of him. Really that's what it came down to."

Lewis is a veteran of nine seasons and is a former first-round pick (drafted 12th overall out of Miami by St. Louis).

"There isn't anything I don't like about Damione Lewis, I just think that there are other players we like just a little bit better for one reason or another," Belichick said.
