Several: Hopkins, Jones, Bryant, Green, Thomas, Marshall . . .

Exactly. Thank you for making my point. I dislike the lack of height at our premium WR position

Seems to me the last cuts are Lucien, Jackson, Johnson, Vellano, Williams, Harbor and one more.. IDK.

I probably just got him cut, but I think with all the wr releases Harbor may make it.

Ben Volin continues his stellar trend of breaking almost no actual news...

Sounds like Ted Karras is making the roster, barring anything unforeseen over the next 51 minutes.

Just read the browns traded Gilbert (CB) to Pitt. I wish we could have got him for a 6th rounder with our history with turning around Brown players.

 

[Joker]

someone should break a 2 x 4 over his head...

 

[ashley]

The two surprise cuts for me so far are Hill and Martin. Kind of thin on the WR front now, especially with Amendola's health uncertain.

Maybe, plus Nink doesn't count against the 53 for the first 4 weeks like Brady.

Patriots have informed rookie WR Devin Lucien of their intention to waive him

Opps made a booboo

 

[Reckedtrek]

Surprised at KGH being cut. Thought he might be a great mismatch type of player. I also agree that some other team will scoop him up, unfortunately. Time will tell.

Okay here is the correct updated list

QB (2) J.Garoppolo, J.Brissett
RB (5) D.Foster, J.Develin, L.Blount, J.White, B.Bolden
WR (5) J.Edelman, C.Hogan, D.Amendola, M.Mitchell, M.Slater
TE (5) R.Gronkowski, M.Bennett, C.Harbor, A.Derby, B.Williams
C (1) D.Andrews
G (6) S.Mason, J.Thuney, T.Jackson, J.Kline, T.Karras, J.Cooper
T (4) N.Solder, L.Waddle, C.Fleming, M.Cannon
DE (5) J.Sheard, C.Long, T.Flowers, G.Grissom, R.Johnson
DT (5) M.Brown, A.Branch, V.Valentine, J.Vellano, A.Johnson
ILB(2) D.Hightower, E.Roberts
OLB(4) J.Collins, S.McClellin, J.Freeny, B.Mingo
CB (5) M.Butler, J.Coleman, C.Jones, J.Jones, L.Ryan
SS (3) P.Chung, J.Richards, N.Ebner
FS (3) D.McCourty, D.Harmon, B.King
ST (3) S.Gostkowski, R.Allen, J.Cardona

Soon to be cut - Johnson, Williams, Jackson, Vellano, Harbor I think.

PS priority: Robert, Leblanc, KGH, Gaffney, Baker,

I hate to be smug about it, but it looks like JJ (my own personal pick) will make the team. It makes sense since LeBlanc was an inch taller than JJ and we all know how much BB LOVES him some midget CB's.

I don't think someone will pick LeBlanc up for their 53, so it looks like he won't have to empty his locker.

JJ was my pick also, but I'm biased by his college career. Four year starter at Auburn (that played in some big games including a National Championship game) all-SEC pick (unlike C. Jones by the way) great special teams player, and super fast. What is not to like? Well, 5' 8 1/2", that is why he wasn't drafted. But with everything else going for him, and his play for the Pats, I'm not surprised that a good coach like BB (or a good ex coach like you) likes that type of consistent production.

DE Rufus Johnson has been informed that he isn't part of the Patriots' initial 53-man roster.

So.... King safe, then?

Ouch just when I smugly relish that JJ is staying, one of

5 TE's REALLY seems like a stretch

 

[ViperGTS]

Ben Volin continues his stellar trend of breaking almost no actual news...

He has no friends in Fort Foxboro. His Deflategate BS "reports" made him a justified persona non grata down there.

* no actual evidence of above being true, however logic dictates it's must be so.

Looking as if 4 might not be, though

Grissom AND Johnson? With all the impending FA's next year? Wow.
