thanks
very useful indeed considering current heated roster debates

good to know that we can have two players with up to 2 accrued seasons joining PS
andrews/jackson/fleming, white/gaffney, grissom/flowers,
even brandon king if grugier-hill or/and elandon roberts beat him for roster spot

i think this year especially the final 53 (or 55 if Brady suspended and Lewis on PUP)
will be made with a lot of tactical manoeuvres

f.e. WR situation - ideally together with JE, DA, CH you would like to keep at least Martin, Washington, Mitchell and Lucien. Lets say Lucien can clear waivers (if he doesn't surprise and clearly beat all of X-competition). Carrying 6 WRs with projected 2TE offense in itself is excessive. But if you want to start with Martin and Washington (considering Mitchell's injury status and inexperience) and stash Mitchell safely, you could go with 6WR and put somebody you would otherwise keep on the back of 53 to the practice squad because he would be safer to clear waivers (f.e. one of grissom/flowers or one of the OL)

Or maybe Mitchell can start on PUP as well (in case Washington and Brady connect)?

Hi Miguel - great article as usual. Might I also suggest making your thread regarding the PUP a sticky as well? It will hopefully help end confusion. 2016 Patriots Active PUP list
