[DefenseRules]

Daniel Fells
Jake Ballard
Marcus Benard

I thought it would be a good idea to keep all of this information in one place. Feel free to update the list.

You can also follow the link to a live blog at boston.com. They are keeping track of things over there.

According to Underhill, Stephon Morris has also been cut.

Benard is mildly surprising. Oh well.

Benard is mildly surprising. Oh well.

I think Buchanan just beat him for that spot.

 

[DefenseRules]

I think Buchanan just beat him for that spot.

I think that you might be right about that.

I think Buchanan just beat him for that spot.

Either Cunningham or Bequette beat him out.

 

[tatepatsfan]

Either Cunningham or Bequette beat him out.

We'll see. I have Buchanan and Bequette in my 53, and Cunningham out. Unless you are suggesting Buchanan was ahead of them. Of course, I'm already wrong as I thought Ballard would make it.

 

[DefenseRules]

I honestly don't see how Cunningham makes this team. Has he even practiced at all during training camp?

 

[mgteich]

Do you really think Francis is a lock?

I don't think Francis is a "lock." The only two DEs I consider to be a lock are Ninkovich and Jones. But my opinion is that they'll keep five, the other three being Francis, Buchanan, and Bequette.

I think they announce vet cuts as early as possible, to give them a chance to catch on with another team.

So should be announcing a tim tebow in 3...2....

#Patriots released WR Haggerty, LB Rivera, TE Fells, TE Ballard, DE Benard, FB Barthoolomew, DL Pena, OL Stankiewitch and DL Vallone.

If so, A Wilson might be breathing a sigh of relief.

[Pats0204]

Haggarty, Rivera, Patterson, Bartholomew, Pena, Stankewitch, and Vallone all cut.

Per PATRIOTS.com

Pats release 10
Patriots release 10 players

 

[makoute]

Looks like Tebow will make it.

 

[jefmblrd]

I think Buchanan just beat him for that spot.

I liked what I saw from Benard--seemed to have a quick burst. I had him figured into my 53. I agree that Buchanan's emergence just beat him out for the spot.

 

[jmt57]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd/interesting that the two tight ends and Benard are cut while Haggerty, Bartholomew and Allen are still on the team?

:shocked:



Check that, looks like I spoke too soon.

The New England Patriots announced that they have released 10 players today.

The Patriots released five veteran players:
TE Jake Ballard
DE Marcus Benard
TE Daniel Fells
WR Johnathan Haggerty
LB Mike Rivera

The Patriots released one first-year player:
OL Luke Patterson

The Patriots released four rookie free agents:
FB Ben Bartholomew
DL Gilbert Peña
OL Matt Stankiewitch

:shocked:

They were cut too.

 

[belichick010405]

They are going to put Allen on the practice squad if they can.

By my count - they have another 12 cuts to go.
