Patriots Cuts: Boyce, Bequette, Worthy, Beauharnais...

Hard to understand the situation at ILB right now, with White being the only backup to Mayo, Hightower, Collins.

You skipped a key name: Fleming's the top backup.

I have an idea hire Randy Moss as a assistant coach then pick up Stephen Hill and Heyward Bey if they could learn to catch wow.

Are you saying they think he can play ILB?

I honestly thought we'd swap out Bolden for White. Didn't think we'd be carrying both. Not that I'm a Bolden hater. Just sayin'.

I've come around to Bolden a bit only since I started looking at him as a ST spot who happens to offer some RB depth as a bonus.

Maybe Chung or Wilson can play some snaps at inside linebacker?

?? Your post said "LB," not "ILB." No, I think Mayo & Hightower are the ILB depth chart, and Fleming is LB4.

Shayne Skov could be an interesting pickup; 49ers released him earlier today.

Bolden has skills he can fill it admirably when needed.

Still wondering if James Anderson gets a call after week 1 if he's still out there. I thought he looked fine in the preseason, although maybe they want that spot to go to more of a ST contributor.

Bolden's fine. He's a guy. He's upgradeable, certainly, but he can play a few snaps on offense and he plays special teams. No problem with the Patriots carrying him.

Is Tyms allowed to be around the facility during his suspension?

Is that it? Only surprise is Finch on my list.

Per league source, the hope is to get Finch through to the practice squad, although that might be a challenge. #Patriots

If he can gain some weight and learn to pass protect at all, he could help us in 2015.

I read that neither him or Browner are allowed to be around.

No. Ditto for Browner.

NO, like Bolden they will be home training

Correction made. Situation at ILB seems thin to me unless they think Fleming can back up on the inside if needed.

I heard last night that Aldon Smith is allowed to be with the team during his 9 game suspension. I wonder what the diff is?
