Arrington was released by the Patriots on Monday, Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston reports. Arrington played in 14 games for that Patriots in 2014, but started just four. Over the course of the season, he accumulated 39 tackles (33 solo), two forced fumbles and one sack, but failed to record an interception. He signed a four-year deal with the Patriots in 2013 and was owed $3 million this year - but none was guaranteed - which may have played into the team's decision to release him.
