The Patriots cut Travaris Cadet to make room for Jon Bostic.
A three decade reversal of fortune, from 1985 to 2015, although Bostic wasn't even born till long after that day of infamy.Imagine how he must feel, going from the worst team right now in the NFL to the best.
Good question, and probably not the no-brainer decision that some might think for BB.
- One could argue Watson because of the addition of another LB in Bostic, but he is young and still probably has upside.
- Hooman would save some money and he has clearly slipped to the #4 TE, but the #3 TE Mike Williams isn't really a conventional TE at over 300 lbs, he is almost like another OL.
- I'm sure many are chomping at the bit to release Fletcher (and given his production so far that may make the most sense), but he has better size than the other corners.
- The Patriots were able to somehow figure out how to get good production from a big CB in Browner last year. That is a credit to the Patriot coaches, because he has completely crashed and burned in New Orleans, where they evidently haven't figured out how to use him.
Ninkovich is a FA after 2016 and will be a free agent..Where is Ninkovich going?
Mayo was a bad contract. People here said he was one of the top middle linebackers in the game. Since his contract, he's spent 2 years injured and now is basically a backup. A lot of money to pay for a guy who only plays half the snaps this season and hasn't played the last two.
And I don't think its about scheme -- if he was better, Bill would figure out a way to get all 3 linebackers in there -- 3-3-5, 3-4-5, 4-3-5. Only reason we're using 4-2-5 for half the snaps is because Mayo isn't playing up to his expectation.
I hope that Tavon F Wilson is released to make room.
Why?
At what?Because…he sucks.
Except the Pats weren't the worst team in football in '85.A three decade reversal of fortune, from 1985 to 2015, although Bostic wasn't even born till long after that day of infamy.
Well, this looks prescient with Hightower possibly missing a few games.
I hope my analysis of who might get cut was useful to the board.....as something everyone can rule out from ever happening.
It didn't even occur to me that Cadet was a candidate to get cut.
Because the team now knows that he can never, ever play a meaningful snap with the regular defense.At what?
The team uses him very differently now than 2012.
I'd like to see them swap out TW for a cover DB.Because the team now knows that he can never, ever play a meaningful snap with the regular defense.
I'd rather see TFW's spot go to somebody with potential or with past production, neither of which TFW possesses, even in the slightest.
I'd also rather have Dekota Watson than Freeney.
