QB(2) Brady, Hoyer
Patriots will sign or trade for a backup QB eventually, but it might not be today.
RB (4) Maroney, Faulk, Taylor, Green-Ellis
Patriots will not keep 5 RB's and Morris will get an injury settlement or go on I.R. I personally would rather have Morris than Green-Ellis, but I am trying to get this right.
TE (3) Baker, Thomas, Watson
Hopefully the Patriots can get something for Smith
WR(6) Moss, Welker, Galloway, Lewis, Aiken, Edelman
OL(9) Light, Mankins, Koppen, Neal, Kaczur, Vollmer, Ohrnberger, O'Callaghan, Connolly
OL is the position I feel least certain about on the roster. I put Connolly over Wendell because you can't keep a pure backup C on the gameday roster. I wouldn't be shocked if we go with 8 on the line and Wendell and Bussey on the practice squad.
DL (7) Seymour, Wilfork, Warren, Green, Wright, Brace, Pryor
DE/LB(2) Banta-Cain, Burgess
LB(7) Thomas, Mayo, Guyton, Woods, Lenon, Alexander, Crable
Look for changes here when the Patriots see what veterans are cut or what young guys they are awarded on waivers.
CB(5) Bodden, Wilhite, Springs, Butler, Wheatley
S(4) Meriweather, Sanders, Chung, McGowan
ST(4) Gostkowski, Hanson, Ingram, *Slater
*Slater makes the team if his injury will be 100% in weeks as opposed to months. If Slater goes on IR, the Patriots scour the waiver wire for the best gunner available.
