Source: The #Patriots are trading CB Keion Crossen to the #Texans.. So, Gunner Olszewski sticks on the roster after all.

Need a real source. Rapoport is a liar.

The hell is going on?

Rapoport is a known liar. Let's wait for a real source.

If Rapoport is aware of how the Crossen move effects Gunner, would he be so kind as to share the rest of the final roster?

Dudes a liar, no reason to trust anything he tweets or say.

I believe this is where we are right now. 64 (but really 62) players left. 9 Left to go.

QB (2) T.Brady, J.Stidham
RB (8) S.Michel, J.Develin, R.Burkhead, D.Harris, J.White, B.Bolden, J.Johnson, N.Brossette
WR (8) J.Edelman, N.Harry, D.Thomas, P.Dorsett, J.Gordon, J.Meyers, G.Olszewski, M.Slater
TE (2) M.LaCosse, R.Izzo
C (4) T.Karras, R.Bodine, J.Ferentz, D.Andrews
G (4) S.Mason, J.Thuney, K.Cunningham, H.Froholdt
T (4) M.Cannon, I.Wynn, C.Croston, J.Eluemenor
DE (7) M.Bennett, D.Wise, J.Simon, C.Winovich, S.Calhoun, D.Rivers, T.Harris
DT (4) L.Guy, A.Butler, D.Shelton, B.Cowart
ILB(2) J.Bentley, E.Roberts
OLB(3) D.Hightower, K.VanNoy, J.Collins
CB (6) S.Gilmore, J.McCourty, J.Jones, J.Jackson, J.Williams, K.Webster
SS (4) P.Chung, O.Melifonwu, N.Ebner, M.Gant
FS (3) D.McCourty, D.Harmon, T.Brooks
ST (3) S.Gostkowski, J.Bailey, J.Cardona


Andrews and Froholdt should be moving to IR and Cajuste is on the NFI so he doesn't count.

With Watson and Kendricks on SUS of course. So they don't count either as I'm sure everyone knows. I just hate to leave it out for the sake of completeness.

The Force is strong with Gunnar.

I like Gunner’s intensity and the fact that he can return punts, but I don’t like trading Crossen; I thought he’d be a major player on STs and provide quality depth in the secondary.

Patriots are currently 6 deep at CB.
Gilmore, Jackson, J. Mac, J. Jones, JJ Williams, and Webster.

They also have DMac they can use in an emergency. And don't forget that Edelman has seen NFL time (however brief) at CB and that Gunner was an D2 All American at CB..

 

[SBLIII]

There is no way Webster is sticking right?

 

[BobDigital]

I could see it, but I wouldn't love it.

With Harry, Edelman, Gordon and Thomas along with STers who we have as WR back ups like Gunner he would be a healthy scratch nearly every game. We can't that many WRs. Meyers and Dorsett don't really play STs (not in a way that matters). So if we keep Gunner one has to go.

Yep.Meyers or Dorsett will be gone

how many more cuts left that we haven't heard about?

 

[Deus Irae]

Too many Hoyer fanboys here. Moving on from him like we did with Mallett.

The irony being, of course, that nobody's being a Hoyer fanboy, and that the people who want Hoyer around just think that Stidham's not ready yet, while those hoping Hoyer would get cut are Stidham fanboys who didn't learn the Mallett lesson: sometimes BB chooses a ****ty backup.

We’ll see if he sticks into next week but as of now one of the biggest underdogs to make the team. He wasn’t in any draft publication I could find. The last man signed to the 90 man roster in late May. Pats version of Invincible lol.

I think regardless of what happens on Monday and thereafter now, he's playing for a LOT more than "3 hots and a cot". Gunner just was guaranteed over a half MILLION dollars.

Another 80’s TV icon!

Ebner and Slater could be cut and re-signed tomorrow. The open question is injured and might be available in December.
Andrews
Froholdt
Rivers
Calhoun

how was he guaranteed?

....and the great nephew of Webster's guardian is on the roster

Or, possibly, Harry goes on IR while his hammy gets better. Not rooting for that to happen, just mentioning it as a possibility.

 

[DaBruinz]

Are down to 53 yet?

Yes.. We're just waiting for the announcements..

Ok thanks for the great color commentary there, Dan Fouts.
