In what comes as a somewhat surprising move, the New England Patriots will cut starting center Bryan Stork at some point today.

The move comes after the former 4th round pick has started 17 games over the last two years.

As the Boston Herald noted a week ago, Stork has had some problems controlling his emotion. There was the headbutt in the AFC Title game last season and was also tossed from a minicamp practice in June for fighting. Despite some concerns across New England's starting offensive line, whatever bothered Coach Belichick about Stork was serious enough to merit the ultimate punishment.

The Patriots continue their preseason schedule this Friday night, traveling to Carolina to take on the Panthers.
