All the Patriots cuts merged mega thread

[crowell33]

I think we may see a lot more of Guyton playing OLB as he did at the end of the preseason.

Sounds right. Has a real problem setting the edge, but brings good pass rush speed off the corner. Might be ok on McCourty's side, strong tackling corner.

Why would we cut him then sign him after week 1? He is a minimum salary guy so it wouldnt save a nickel, and there is no cap to worry about.

FWIW, Woods signed for $1.25 mil.

I'm a little surprised that all 6 Running Backs are still on the roster. I think one of them will be cut next. This has been a day of some surprises.

I can't for the life of me figure out why Chris Taylor is still on this roster.

7 WR as well, if you count Slater. Something has to give there.

leverage if we're trying to trade a RB?

OK, but the point is the same. If we wanted him here we wouldnt cut him, and risk losing him to save a couple hundred K.

Good point. I forgot about that.

Woods is out, according to Reiss.

Well that makes things a bit awkward for Julian Edelman, who, per Rapoport, is currently renting a room in Woods' house.

My dream Logan Mankins traded for Anthony Spencer and Tashard Choice, Patriots trade for Marion Barber cut, Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris, Patriots trade a 2011 2nd rounder for Manny Lawson and a 4th round draft pick.
Patriots sign free agent Alex Hall, Patriots trade their first round pick to the Steelers for Lamar Woodley, problems solved.

I like that :rocker:

RapSheet The Patriots have released Sam Aiken, I'm told. Wow.

Something has gotta give, gunna be a couple acquisitions of a couple real surprises on the final roster.. I just hope Matt Slater doesnt take this spot

Didn't see this one coming. Thought they would keep him for special teams

 

[NE39]

Hard to believe Buddy Farnham would make the team. I know he is a great story and is real versatile, but they already cut him a few weeks ago before bringing him back. Why take the chance of losing him earlier in the summer if they keep him? Either he wowed them upon his return, or he is a goner as well.

Chris Taylor is another one. He has to go, right?

 

[DaBruinz]

I had Aiken as a possibility.. and even more so when Chung became the Personal Protector on the Punt Coverage Unit.

Buddy! Buddy! Buddy!
