You could say that at any position across the entire roster, or any teams for that matter.

I'm curious how this arrangement flies with the rest of the players in the locker room. Perhaps there's a level of respect as well for the vets that no one has issue with it?

I wonder if on some level there could be some players that privately feel that they had to endure training camp, work hard to earn (or keep) their roster spot and might feel resentful that someone else can just step in as a starter a week before the season.

I'm sure anyone that gets cut today could really be peeved, but since they won't be around anyway it wouldn't matter.

Nick McDonald definitely makes this team if Waters doesn't show up. If so, I think Dennard is the last man cut.

There are a lot of good players below the line on Bedard's chart. I like the quality and depth of the Patriots this year.

Is he saying his uniform is hung in his locker?

Heck yes! (In my Napoleon voice)

These units all seem pretty deep to me. Albeit much of the talent at RB is unproven.

If Waters is back, and this seems to confirm it, I don't know how someone can't be content with our line. Other than Matt Light staying unretired, how could it possible be better? It's the same line as last year without Light, and we knew we were losing him.

On the other hand, we didn't realize how deep we'd be on the interior, and that's a plus. I'm comfortable playing Connolly, Thomas, Wendell, and McDonald on the interior.

Sure, tackle is a sore spot if anybody gets injured, but at least we can field two respectable tackles, which is two more than some teams.

You know when you think about it, Brian Waters return to the Pats is about the worst kept secret since Saturday Night Live declared Generalissimo Francisco Franco STILL dead. How many clues did we need to see.

1. The lack of additions to the interior line AFTER Gallery Retired

2. No comments from BB or Waters, when if retirement was truly a factor it would have been just too simple to just say it.

3. Ron Borges implied without facts that Money was a problem between Waters and the Pats, so we immediately knew that that wasn't an issue.

My guess Waters will come off the suspended list after the first announcements for the PS's are made on Sunday. That way it will be more likely to get a guy they want on the PS to make it through waivers.

Volmer, Mankins, and Waters, all likely to be 100% by the end of the September. Stop the panic button boys, we are getting the band back together for one more tour.
