Garrett Mills could still make this roster - New England Patriots Forums

If neither Dave Thomas or Kyle Brady are ready, we probably should have Mills on the 53 man roster.

Who you gonna cut for him though? The roster is already insanely tight.

You would cut a guy least likely to be picked up (GLLPU), then you could IR a guy (not for season). A GLLPU could be a developmental rookie not able to help someone else right away (Rogers), or an aging vet unlikely to play for anyone else (Vinny, Junior).

Gaffney has been our best receiver since playoffs and throughout TC until injured. I don't think he gets cut.

I don't agree. Welker has been our best receiver in TC. And last year doesn't matter.

Does anyone know exactly WHAT is injured on Gaffney? Is he on crutches?

Mack Herron · 08-27-2007, 10:57 AM

From everything the team has released and what reporters witnessed:

"leg"

What has Mills shown that he deserves to be on this roster? To my mind he is Klecko on offense no set position,not size enough to be a TE & has really shown nothing else, unable to even stay on the field. The potential was there but at this point nothing has shown. I think he goes his best chance is the PS.

We need to have three active TE's. Mills has shown that he can actually block.
