No Dante Wesley in this prediction either, I guess Reiss doesn't feel that he moved up too much. I would actually replace Mitchell with Wesley.

I can see the Pats carrying 4 TEs, before they carry 4 QBs.

This is incorrect. I believe it comes from speculation by Reiss. He has since corrected himself. It expires AFTER the first game. (I believe it will expire earlier if the Patriots activate Asante earlier.)

I bet the Pats keep the roster exemption until after game 1 by keeping Asante inactive. Gay is ready, so unless they think Asante can step right in and play better, it makes sense to keep the roster exemption and give Asante more time to get ready.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Reiss about the 4 QBs. I'll bet dollars to cents that BB puts Vinny in week 1 vs the Jets for his obligatory TD pass and against his former team no less! Then, when the roster exemption runs out for Asante, it is bye bye Vinny... we'll keep you on speed dial buddy.

Where this leaves Wesley, who I feel deserves to make the team, I do not know. If Mitchell is deemed better, I guess he will be yet another tough cut.

Khayos, Cassel is NOT gone, either sooner or later.

This is ENTIRELY a different situation. This team isn't rebuilting...it BUILT. Think about it. Brady has go another 6 years as the starter, minimum. So NEITHER Cassell OR Guiterrez are likely Brady's replacement. These guys are back ups ONLY, Plus future trade bait.

This team has too may NFL ready players and not enough roster spots for 3 QBs let alone 4

BOTTOM LINE - Vinnie goes on speed dial and Guttierez goes to the PS. END OF STORY. Mike gets a lot things right, but THIS on is WRONG!

... or that a trade is in the works...

though I'd prefer to have major depth at this position this year.

I say leave Vinnie off - I think he's gotten his pay as a salary bonus already and I think he'd be loyal to BB

Then again, if another team suffers injuries at QB and Vinnie has a chance to start, that's going to be tough to pass up - but for now, I think we need the roster spot for another position.

i agree with the 6 WR but i do not think too we will carry 4 qb...

khayos

uhh, contractually his last year is 2008. Who knows what the market will be for his services at that time. Unless you're speculating that we'll re-sign him, which is just as valid as my speculation that we'll trade him if we have another potential prospect..

Isaac

Ah, okay, thanks.

Why so worked up? I disagree with Guttierez to the PS. The Patriots do their best to avoid putting players on the PS that are likely to get poached. And by all accounts, it looks like Guttierez would get scooped up almost immediately. We'll see what happens.
