The Patriots waived Pharms on Saturday.
Pharms loses his 53-man roster spot to fellow DT Cory Durden, who was signed off the team's practice squad. Pharms appeared in 28 regular-season games for New England over the previous two seasons, logging 42 tackles (20 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery. He could be an option to join the practice squad.
