Final round of roster cuts for Patriots

[TommyD4207]

Robert McClain gone according to Mike Loyko.

It was depressing to see how bad he was here. I always thought he was a decent slot corner for Atlanta.

I’m told that RB Dion Lewis is going to make the #Patriots and have a decent role. Shift runner and good all around skill set

I haven't seen that on Google...


Edit:
@Tom_Montana12, what's with the disagree?

People will freak if Wayne is cut, but it's all about him not being for Week One and guaranteeing his contract.

That doesn't make any sense though.

He already got a signing bonus, and his contract is incentive-based.

A source just told me that #Patriots WR Reggie Wayne “will not be on 53.” Added, “he will not be there."

I'm told Tom Brady will make the team and will see the field quite a bit.

His full 2015 salary is guaranteed if he's on the Week 1 roster. It's not if he's not.

I hope Rob Gronkowski makes it too.

Rob, I do respect your opinion and understand it. However, Branch has been particularly good at that either. Teams were still able to run the ball at will with him in games. Now, I will admit there are other factors obviously, but it does not really change my opinion that he's underwhelming. He did not pass his physical on top of the lackadaisical play. I think his size and BB's preference to keep depth at the position (unlike 2013, IIRC) will be the prevailing factors for why he sticks if he sticks.

If Branch was a ball of fire, we wouldn't have him, couldn't afford him and certainly couldn't afford him to be a role player in a defense that has phased his type of DT out. He can play in the league and he was signable. Many, many DTs are somewhat lethargic, it's goes with being that big.

That's why guys with that body type and fire, technique and intelligence are rare and worth lots of money - draft position.

Reggie Wayne made $450k for 2 weeks of camp. Patriots fans just lost all non-deflategate mocking rights for this offseason.

 

[Oswlek]

That doesn't make any sense though.

He already got a signing bonus, and his contract is incentive-based.

The bonus was payment to come in and help out for a few weeks, and the incentives were protection for both sides in the event he made the team.

 

[TommyD4207]

I understand that, thank you.

He's only going to be here this year anyway. So they're that tight to the cap that they need to save a single game check? I don't buy it.

 

[TommyD4207]

The bonus was payment to come in and help out for a few weeks, and the incentives were protection for both sides in the event he made the team.

Which is why cutting him to bring him back in week 2 makes no sense.

 

[manxman2601]

That's really vague. "He will not be there" .....what is that supposed to mean?

Just backing up the first statement.

 

[patsinthesnow]

At the moment:

Edelman
Amendola
Dobson
Harper

Lafell - injured


Hmm.....

Pats fans didn't lose ****.

Makes plenty of sense.. It means that his 1.1M salary isn't guaranteed.. It also saves the the Roster Bonus that was due as well..

Wow, Belichick is one cold son of *****. Belichick signed Reggie Wayne just so he could cut a Colts legend.

I'm joking of course

 

[manxman2601]

Colts fans will be happy - Reggie Wayne won't be a traitor (at least for now) and no Jonas Gray. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Gronk

We're fine.

I see. Josina Anderson's the one at ESPN with the Patriots source.

I'll believe it when I see it on the transactions page. Unless they traded him for another WR, they actually need him week 1.

Unless they're running Cadet out there at WR, I suppose.
