Patriots Cuts

[venecol]

Need a real source. Rapoport is a liar.

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

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

Do you think Rapoport is a liar?

 

[Crazy Patriot Guy]

And that's true almost every year. Sometimes I wonder if he does it just to screw with us all.

 

[jah]

We need a backup OL who knows the system for Game 1.

I don't know who else to cut. Croston was the toughest one and I'd very much prefer Froholdt be available at some point this year.

 

[Deus Irae]

OT, and someone might want to put it in the NFL transactions thread, but check this out:

Blockbuster: The #Dolphins are trading franchise LT Laremy Tunsil and WR Kenny Stills to the #Texans in exchange for a huge package of picks, including a first-rounder, sources tell me, @MikeGarafolo, and @TomPelissero. The moves are contingent on players passing physicals.

 

[Uptown]

DT will be back.

Unless Thomas comes back, this is the most bizarre, mind boggling, infuriating cut I can remember in decades.

Why take him off of PUP, let him practice, let him play, excel beyond expectations, and then cut him ? I will NEVER understand this move unless there is some kind of wink/handshake agreement that will bring him back ASAP. The guy can now chose his team, and there are a ton of WR starved teams out there. Definitely need some blood pressure pills ASAP.

Caught a lot of flak on here for thinking they’d cut DT. I’ll admit I didn’t expect it affect it after last night.

Good Q. Who was that idiot on here who made a big stink about how Thomas’ contracts numbers essentially guaranteed him a roster spot? Also some point about “always look at the numbers” to determine rosters. Yeah..that really held up..

Do you think Rapoport is a liar?

He’s definitely hinting at that if you read between the lines.

 

[Brandon_Cox]

I really hope they bring back DT.

For the first 4 weeks of the season, I'd love for there to be as many Georgia Tech players as UGAg players on the roster. I realize that I'm the only person on this board who cares about this but I have to represent my school (up to the point of defending Gary Guyton. That's where I draw the line).

[Vatahala]

I wonder what happened in Seattle for Jacob Hollister to be cut. I remember reading what a great pick-up he was and how the Pats got fleeced.
I'm assuming we get to keep the 7th round pick we received in the trade.

 

[Deus Irae]

Dolphins fans should think positive thoughts.

Miami has the inside track for the #1 pick!

 

[SBLIII]

DT will be back, Hoyer won't be

Seems like a pretty good bet that he’s coming back guys, so you can probably relax.

OT, and someone might want to put it in the NFL transactions thread, but check this out:

Wow, can the commissioner look into tanking here ? A day or two ago the Dolphins try to trade for Clowney to make their team better, and now they trade 2 of their best players to make their team considerably weaker.

 

[JayNM]

WOW.. Big Suprise.. Thomas released.. May be back, but we'll see

Holy ****

I did not see it coming

 

[aluminum seats]

OT, and someone might want to put it in the NFL transactions thread, but check this out:

Dolphins are being smart. They’re not going to contend, so they get rid of guys, stock up on picks, hopefully find a quarterback and build a team. If I’m a fan I’d much rather see that approach them sputtering along with seven wins year after year.

Anybody know Trent Harris' status? Last I checked he was still on the team. Guy really impressed me in preseason game #2. Stood out to me as much as Winovich.
