Pats have 2 open roster spots right now. One for Castillo?

There's a vicious rumor that Wes Welker (a.k.a. Mr Burns) and Deion "The Twig" Branch covertly lowered the goalposts such that the 6' 5" Roark closelined himself running into the EZ.

Nope, just one open spot. IR still counts toward the 90 man roster.

 

[Dingleberry]

Too bad. I had hopes he could be the 8th WR this year.

Oh well

Here he is with Danny Woodhead in a recent photo. Branch and WW are some squirrely Summsabitsshes for doing that to the Roark!

Not good when a rookie WR fails the conditioning test when he is trying to make an impression....... oh wait he did make an impression, the wrong one.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

We've gone from Mr. Roark to Kahn to Vincent Ludwig.

I must kill the queen......I must kill the queen....

Reiss has it as two.

They've already put someone on IR? Who? What's the point of putting a player on IR this early?

Either Reiss is wrong, or the report stating that IR counts on the 90 man limit is.

 

[Calciumee]

I completely forget he was on the roster! Maybe Gonzales comes back?

TE Brad Hermann cleared waivers and was placed on IR. He should not be counting against the 90-man roster. Jake Ballard will eventually go on IR but for now he counts.

I just counted 88 players currently on the roster.

NFL increases offseason roster limit to 90 players - NFL.com

The 90-man roster will include active, inactive, practice-squad, exempt and reserve-list players. It also will house unsigned draft choices and franchise free agents, per Aiello.

Herman counts toward the limit.

I can't see any mistakes on this, which says there are 88 active and 1 inactive.
