The New England Patriots have released wide receiver Joey Galloway, the team announced Tuesday.

The Patriots also re-signed linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Banta-Cain was unexpectedly cut loose Monday.

Galloway, a 15-year NFL veteran, has seven receptions for 67 yards this season. He has not been on the Patriots' active roster for the past three weeks.

For his career, Galloway has 689 catches for 10,777 yards and 77 touchdowns in 188 games with the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Patriots.

Banta-Cain, 29, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Patriots and returned this season after two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He started two games for the Patriots this season and had 13 total tackles, including three sacks.

In other moves, the Patriots released tight end Michael Matthews. He played in three games this season as a reserve tight end and on special teams.
