FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots?have traded former starting center Bryan Stork?to the Washington Redskins for a conditional seventh-round draft pick.The agreement between the teams, first reported by the NFL Network and confirmed by ESPN, came after Stork had been informed by the Patriots that they planned to release him.The Patriots also released veteran wide receiver Nate Washington?on Wednesday. That move was first reported by CSN New England and later confirmed by ESPN.?The Patriots decision to cut ties with Stork comes as a mild surprise even as he was losing his hold on the top spot of the depth chart to second-year blocker David Andrews.Stork, who was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2014 draft, played in 25 games for the team, including the playoffs, during the past two seasons (21 starts). He sustained multiple concussions in that time, opening the 2015 season on the injured reserve list because of a concussion.Its tough, said quarterback?Jimmy Garoppolo, who was picked by the Patriots in the same draft class as Stork. Its that time of year. Theres a lot of movement between teams and players and everything. Its tough to see one of your guys go like that. Thats the business, I guess.With Stork sidelined at the start of last season, Andrews, an undrafted free agent out of Georgia, started the first 10 games of the season and performed well before Stork returned as the starter.Under returning offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia, the two entered 2016 spring practices in an open competition for the job, with Stork taking top repetitions one day and Andrews getting those reps the next. That continued into the early days of training camp, but Andrews has has a hold on the top spot since Stork was knocked out of practice on the third day due to a reported concussion and missed a week.Stork was also thrown out of a joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Aug. 16. He upset coach Bill Belichick after wildly throwing punches, which didnt connect, at Bears linebacker John Timu.When Belichick was asked about the center position Friday, he called it a good competitive situation.Washington, who has 458 career receptions in 10 seasons with the Steelers, Titans and Texans, was a longshot to make the Patriots roster out of camp. He signed a one-year, $1.065 million contract with the Patriots this offseason, but only $60,000 was guaranteed.Information from ESPNs Mike Reiss, Adam Schefter and Field Yates was used in this report.

According to a report from the Vancouver Province, the Lions are expected to replace former DC Rich Stubler with defensive backs coach Mark Washington.Sky Sports expert Wayne Mardle has long been tipping 22-year-old Josh Payne as a future star. Last weekend Payne beat James Wade in the Players Championship final... so Mardle is back to say: I told you so! What does it for me, is when people are different - it gives you an edge, it means youre not a conformist. You wont listen to those around you, or let them bring you down. Payne is his own man, he looks after himself.Hes not a fitness fanatic but he wants to be fit and he looks the part. Hes clean cut, and hes got this composure that every good player needs. This composure can come and go - Adrian Lewis can sometimes look like hes got none - but when it comes, these players can be hard to beat. Its too early to say how far he can go but I would be surprised if hes not in the top 16 in the next three years. Wayne Mardle When he won the Players Championship, he started off with a poor shot of 45.dddddddddddd Then a 180, followed by 116, game-shot, when James Wade was left on tops. You dont reach your very first final, then do that, unless you believe youre good enough.Payne clearly believes, and I believe in him too. Ive seen him play and I know how good he can be. Its too early to say how far he can go but I would be surprised if hes not in the top 16 in the next three years. Payne will be in the worlds top 16 in three years, says Mardle It doesnt take long to make that breakthrough. I believe Payne thinks hes good enough - and thats the main thing.Watch Premier League Darts next Thursday at 7pm, live on Sky Sports 1 HD.
