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.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton is unstoppable in the conditions he mastered to record a comfortable British Grand Prix victory.Hamilton turned in an assured drive in a race which started wet under the Safety Car and then transitioned to a dry track. The reigning world champions first win of the season came in a similar situation in wet-dry conditions at the Monaco Grand Prix.?By contrast, teammate Nico Rosberg appeared to struggle in the wet portion of the race, something which also occurred in Monaco and prompted Mercedes to ask him to move aside and let the faster Hamilton through.When asked if Silverstone was proof Hamilton has the edge over Rosberg in wet conditions, he replied: Youre right, weve seen it in Monaco, [Rosbergs] problem in Monaco was a different one, in order to get the tyres in the right window.I think today we saw Lewis was very confident, and was extremely focused and calm and on a day like this a Lewis Hamilton is unstoppable. I think thats what weve seen.Hamiltons strong pace at the beginning of the race came while Rosberg was dicing with Reed Bulls Max Verstappen.dddddddddddd The world champion later said he felt very comfortable?throughout and Wolff thinks his pace at the beginning was the key to victory.It was Lewis race because his pace at the beginning determined the rest of the outcome. Obviously Nico was in a hard battle with [Max] Verstappen, so it was clear that unless he had a technical problem he would win the race, and that was a nice feeling.Hamilton is wary of the likelihood of engine penalties in coming races having already moved on to his fourth power unit after a string of failures early in the season. Wolff says the next two races will determine when exactly Hamilton will take that next unit.No we havent [analysed it] yet because we are trying to make it on four, now its clear we are making it on five. It looks like that we might have a penalty with him, but we dont know, we have to see the next two races how thats going to pan out and then decide after the shutdown. ' ' '
