2014 Practice Squad Thread

So far I have none of our cuts claimed or signed by another team, right?

Yep, though Jemea Thomas was claimed earlier and remains on the Cowboys' 53, and Justin Green would have been a likely claim if he hadn't been traded first. (I think he ended up on IR, unfortunately).

And Mallett of course.... Meanwhile 4 Cleveland cuts are claimed. Curious.

Here's hoping for some nice additions today.

@DougKyedNESN: The Patriots signed CB Daxton Swanson to the practice squad, according to a source.

The top cut patriot I wanted on the PS. Surprised he didn't get picked up. We're 7 deep at CB.

Jets must have been distracted for some reason...

Maybe he didn't pass the most crucial test the Feet test sure he could move well but he had a pointed toe that took him off the Jets list.

Jets awarded ex-Browns CB Leon McFadden on waivers, source confirms. 3rd-rnd pick '13. 16 gs (233 snaps), started last 2 PS games. #nyj

The Jets decided to go with a 3rd round 2013 bust instead. Also, the Cowboys chose to take Jemea Thomas from us instead too. Odd choices, but I'm not complaining.

Swanson could have a future for this team still good Arrington insurance.

98.5 Sports Hub also reporting that Daxton Swanson's been signed to the Pats PS. Good News! Looking forward to seeing who else lands here.

Mark Daniels @MarkDanielsPJ
Jerel Worthy has not been signed to the Patriots practice squad, per source. It's still early but I don't know where he's headed.

If Worthy would sign with any practice squad my guesses would be Green Bay, San Fran, Seattle, Arizona

I haven't see any of our latest cuts showing up on other practice squads.

Awesome thta he got through, I know Butler played his way onto the team with an impressive spring, but I always, and still, have the feeling that Swanson is really going to be the better player. As it is, they both look good. Can't believe he made it through.

Cleveland's cuts probably had better grades from Mel Kipper than the stiffs that Belichick always wants. I think some of the teams in the NFL literally operate at the level of ESPN evaluations. That's why they always lose. I'm sure that all of Cleveland's cuts had awesome three-cone times....

@DougKyedNESN: Deontae Skinner, Chris Martin and Josh Boyce still have lockers intact.

@DougKyedNESN: WR Josh Boyce signed to the Patriots practice squad.

Also,

@DougKyedNESN: Sealver Siliga says he's ready to play Sunday.

Doug Kyed ‏@DougKyedNESN 8 Sek.
WR Josh Boyce signed to the Patriots practice squad.

Wow Boyce is showing hes ready to work.
like that's he's back and he knows the system plus he can mimic ty Hilton and some other players on scout teams.
Should Injuries hit he knows the system win win.

To state the obvious, the fact that a player has got through to the Patriots Practice Squad doesn't mean he's not going to play for another team -- he can be claimed at any time.

Of course, he won't have the experience in the other club's system but that can cut both ways. ("Hey kid, welcome on board. We hope you're here for a long time. But, in the meantime, you've been with the Patriots and we're playing them in two weeks. What can you do to help us win?")

looks like #patriots have a new long snapper: locker set up for Charley Hughlett set up between Gostkowski & Allen
