[deters]

Thanks for this thread.

 

[BlueThunder]

Nice update !

 

[DaBruinz]

Maybe the mods will combine the other threads out there with this one..

 

[DaBruinz]

Looks like Bryan Stork is done with the Pats..

 

[TeamFirst]

Who is going to back up Andrews? Is there a trade in place?

 

[DaBruinz]

Take your pick of Thuney, Kline and Karras. All 3 have taken snaps there at TC. Shaq Mason supposedly has taken snaps there with the Pats as well.

 

[DaBruinz]

Interesting tweet from Petraglia

 

[DaBruinz]

BTW, I find it disgusting that certain media types are fighting over who predicted the demise of Stork first..

 

[DaBruinz]

Nate Washington being released per Curran.

This brings the Pats down to 81.

 

[The Gr8est]

And maybe not so coincidentally, D.J. Foster returned to practice today. Maybe his hamstring suddenly felt better when he saw all of his teammates getting released.

 

[DaBruinz]

Another interesting tweet by Howe:



If true, then I can totally understand why Stork was cut..

 

[WaterfallJumper]

Hey @DaBruinz, could you edit your first post to include the updated player releases? I think it would be handy to see a running tabulation instead of scrolling through post by post. Thanks for making this thread!

done.

 

[long distance]

It looks like 7 of 9 2016 draft picks might make 53
1 or 2 more to PS
1-2 starters + 2-4 rotational players
+ 1-3 UDFA's
to a #3 2015 team with fewer FA/trade losses than additions (if I remember correctly)
with stolen 1st

not really a C draft ...

I figured that a single threat for all the players the Pats have released would be better than multiple threads like we have currently:

Pats have released the following:
Bear Pascoe - 8/22
D'Victor Bentley - 8/22
Cedric Thompson - 8/22
EJ Biggers - 8/23
Donald Brown - Injury Settlement - 8/23
Frank Kearse - 8/23
Bryan Stork - 8/24
Nate Washington - 8/24

you might include Kerbyson - its true he was swapped with Ebner
but he was here for the big part of TC and had some notable snaps at C

I had him for possible PS - you never know, maybe he comes visit soon
date (news) of release is 8/14

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Nate Washington being released per Curran.

This brings the Pats down to 81.

So only 6 more cuts by Aug 30 to get down to 75. At this pace, they may be there before the 30th. I don't remember them doing this in past years. I wonder if BB's philosophy is " I pretty much know who is making the team, so let's jettison the camp fodder so I can get more reps for those who will be on the 53 at the end...."

the title of the thread should be changed to "They all sucked anyway"

Good idea, just hope we don't get a rash of injuries and wish we had kept any of these guys.
