The New England Patriots released veteran safety Jabrill Peppers on Friday in a surprising roster move. Peppers had been projected to start alongside Jaylinn Hawkins, but the decision signals a shift toward youth in the secondary. Fourth-round rookie Craig Woodson is expected to step into the starting strong safety role, though his inexperience could lead to early growing pains for the defense.
