I think we all expected him to be a probably PS candidate but Reiss say eveidently not :

"With the Patriots not showing an initial interest to sign him to their practice squad, Mincey was headed out of town last night."

Possibly a Pioli ploy to feign lack of interest with the hope he slides through waivers.

This isn't the kind of comment we want to read from the kid, even if he does need time to develop. This is too early to think you won't get a shot at the practice squad, get your head right kid; I've seen that you've got what it takes physically, so get your "head" right.

From the article it seems like he sounded like he was just taking his time with things because he thought he had a year of development.

Speaking of Pierre Woods though. Wow did that kid outplay everyone on the other teams 2nd string. Also at being 6'5'' the Patriots must love the height.

This situation seems like the Mike Wright Situation from last year. Where Rodney Bailey was shockingly cut to make room for UDRFA Mike Wright who can play any position on the line.

That is a bit surprising..maybe they think the PSqd will be full which I thought of as well. With Bramlett posibly Chi;ldress or Kight...Possibly 3 O linemen, possible DLs in Thomas and Smith, maybe ILB Mays and a DB...Spann??? O guess Mincey was the one out..even with nest case scenario. Have been watching him a lot and maybe as he said, he thought a year of development..but really lacked the urgency and thought since he was a draft choice..there was no way he'd get cut and left out...NOT sure.

Pats726

Exactly...taking his time with things and...not feeling thinking it was urgent..see ya!! I tend to think Mays may be an ILB of the future...

I'm disappointed they didn't put him on the PS. He looked like he had potential.

Doubt anyone would pick him up outright, but who else do they have for the PS?

There are plenty of NE cuts who would be good on the Practice Squad and no reason Mincey won't be back in a few weeks. Bramlet seems likely, probably Hand and Stevenson from the O-line, Smith from the D-line, Mays may stick or Roach could be brought back. BB likes to shop around and bring in players to test out in practice, so I expect at least three players who were with other teams to be brought in.

5 Rings for Brady!!

I thought this kid was overrated from the start- which explains why he was drafted late. He is not the next McGinnest. He's just a guy that apparently had a good senior bowl, but never had more than about 1.5 sacks per season in college, as well as low tackle numbers.

Maybe he'll end up on the practice squad, but he's gonna have to impress somebody to make this roster. Woods, who's motivation was questioned by scouts in the draft, seems to have turned up the heat. Meanwhile, Mincey doesn't even stick around town after getting A LOT of personal attention from Belichick for the last 6 months.

Kinda weird.
