Final round of roster cuts for Patriots

[Joey007]

just had the shock of my life as I started reading this tweet:

‏@RyanHannable 2m2 minutes ago
Patriots moving on from Tom Brady news, focused on Thursday’s opener vs. Steelers

I thought it said move on from Tom Brady at first

Exactly.

I imagine the players have been notified by now? The cuts have to be finalized with the league in a hour.

Comeon local reporters!

If the last few months hasn't taught you anything it's that sports reporters dont really exist their title should really be sports parrots.

This is going to be a news packed last hour. Well call in 90 minutes cause some reports will be late.

You have Coleman missing out or did you forget about him (easy to do)?

 

[shmessy]

Why the hate on Branch?

I don't like players with prior rap sheets who get a nice, multi-year contract with the Pats after 3 or 4 good behavior months, then show up to camp overweight and fail the conditioning test.

Kinda puts Gray's onetime 10 minutes late to a meeting in perspective.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Used the Pats Picker, wasn't listed so totally forgot about him.

In that case, I'll edit it out, Coleman for Swanson, IMO.

Cadet on sitting out: "In life, you get thrown curveballs sometimes, but you’ve got to be able to take the hits and what comes with it."

Mark Daniels ‏@MarkDanielsPJ 2m2 minutes ago
Cadet: I’m always confident. The harder I work, the more confident I get. Pretty much, you’ve got to be confident to last in this league

Josh McDaniels must have a fetish for this guy, if he's able to make the team without participating in the preseason

Not that I have a problem with that

So how many more are needed?

 

[PatsBoy12]

Everyone is different. Seal penetrates more and is more mobile. Branch is a space clogger. He's fine- but expendable.

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.

Still 10 I believe but that includes Lafell, Fletcher, Blount moves.

Fletcher was put on the Reserve/Pup as part of the cut down to 75..

Thanks.

Jeff Howe‏@jeffphowe
As of 5 minutes ago, Jonas Gray is still a Patriot. Not so sure he lasts the hour, though.

 

[catent]

I'd imagine that "big" outside WR will be the first domino to fall.

Once that's been decided one way or another (via trade or signing), then the rest will fall into place and we'll get our news rather quickly.

If all these "Patriots actively trying to trade for big WR" rumors are true, speaks to Wayne and Dobson not impressing & LaFell's injury.

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
