The Next Round of Cuts - New England Patriots Forums

***mgteich*** · 09-01-2012, 03:57 PM

So far, we have added Salas and Tennant. Presuming that the 53rd roster spot belongs to Waters, we will need two cuts so far, perhaps with more players to come, likely a fullback it seems.

Rivera and Forsten seem to stand out as possibilities. Also, McDonald could get cut or put on IR.

Per schefter (30 seconds ago), it's Carpenter..

Hmm.. Very strange to cut Carpenter when he clearly outplayed Rivera all through Training Camp and Pre-season.

Do you have a pathological need to start a new thread every 7 minutes stating that Rivera, Bolden, Forston and McDonald will be the next player to go?

There must be a dozen threads you have said this in, why start yet another one?

We get it.

There were probably 1000 posts since yesterday morning. Repetition is not a bad thing.

Besides, you guys get to point out how wrong I am when they stay and guys like Carpenter are cut instead.

They must see long term potential in Rivera. Unlike other teams who try to win now ignoring future years. It's a small blow value-wise today, but could reap bigger benefit later.

True. True. But with no real experience, now, to back-up either at ILB or OLB, you have to pray that none of Spikes, Hightower or Mayo get hurt..
