Default Which BIG NAMES don't make the cut???

I'd like to throw the floor open to all members of the forum. Talk of certain linemen, D linemen, CB's not making the cut are numerous, but I'd like everyone to state right here and now, which "established names" dont make the cut.

As a side, I cant remember that the Pats under BB have ever not suprised us by cutting certain players I'd never have dreamed of. ( The most suprising for me in recent memory was cutting Victor Hobson who I thought would be a perfect fit for our 3-4 when we were already threadbear at ILB).

So...

I see Sammy Morris getting cut. I see Law Firm getting cut. I see Crumpler sneaking through the cut but wouldnt be suprised to see him getting cut before the seasons thru. I see Damione Lewis getting cut and probably resigned. I see Murell going. I see Wheatley being cut ahead of Wilhite (but not by much).

He who gets the most cuts right gets a pat on the back.

I think either Sammy Morris or Fred Taylor gets cut, but I have the feeling that BJGE makes it, I don't know why, I just do

If Kaczur isn't starting, either at RT or LG, he gets cut. Makes too much for a backup, and the Patriots would probably go with youth at the backup spots.

BIG NAMES? These are all role players and except for Crumpler, likely to get cut. Crumpler I agree would be a huge surprise, given that behind him are two rookies..

Hobson was nothing more than camp fodder? He was cooked long before the Jets dumped him. Never made it out of patriots training camp. I think he went to the Cardinals and died there.

For a surprise big-name cut, how does anyone top Lawyer Milloy?

Or Mike Vrabel. He was a trade, not a cut, but he was booted out and talk about a surprise--NO ONE expected that.

Morris, Taylor, Holt, Patten, Wheatley, Slater

None would individually be too much of a surprise, but I see us going young and cutting ALL OF THEM

I don't think Holt goes anywhere, especially if WW is on PUP. I think he could do very well with other receivers taking pressure.

In JAX he didn't really have anyother players around him, until Sim-Walkers started to show. He might only catch 40 balls a season, but I still think he could do well

And the worst part is that they had to trade him in part because of the worthless Afailius.

On any other year, I'd agree with that. But this is an uncapped year.

As for Torry Holt, he looked good (if not great) last year. He may well be a capable no.2 WR.

I would say the biggest name to cut before the season would be Shawn Springs.
