Patriots Official Unofficial 53-Man Roster: Pre-Season Edition

[RobertWeathers]

They have to pay out all of Hoyer’s guarantees including 2023. It's 1.76M to have him on the roster, 3M to cut him. It'd be 3M + vet min to cut him and re-sign him.

Yea thats true

 

[Froob]

Yea thats true

I'm guessing Bethel and Cody Davis as the cut and re-signs. Little to no dead money.

Edit: Actually Slater would make more sense than Bethel, he's only 150k. I'm going to swap in him.

Slater has guarantees which would be paid. Wouldn't we have to pay again for the new contract?

If this kind of nonsense is deemed necessary, then for me, Cardona makes the most sense. He could be cut and then signed to a new extended contract.

Nixon fell off a cliff and Wilkerson was head hunted.
Shame for those two guys would like to get both on the PS.
I feel Asi Asi and Humphrey has not shown enough to make this team.
Hoyers arm is dead.
Zappe looks like a big downgrade from Stidham.
Raiders are going to mess around and turn Stidham to a third or second round pick back in trade in the next few seasons.

Wade needs to make the team he’s tall long and fast and plays multiple spots in the secondary.

I think it’s time to say goodbye to Davis and Bethel.

I presume that you aren't adding Slater because of his contract guarantees.

You need one of Slater or Bethel.
Both is a luxury we can’t afford.
Schooner could develop into the next great special teams player.
I love Bethel but if it’s him or Wade.
Have to bet on the upside and youth of Wade.

I have not seen any snap data yet , did Humphrey play in the Raiders game ?

He actually tied for the team lead in offensive snaps (34), but only had 2 catches for 7 yards.

Thanks for that , where did you see that ??....did Mike Reiss tweet the snap count ?

Shoot, yes you’re right. Yeah idk then, Bethel’s seem a little high.

Final roster projection by Phil Perry, some tough last cuts but it's a pretty good list:

Perry: Final Patriots 53-man roster projection ahead of cutdown day

The preseason is over, and Bill Belichick has until Tuesday to trim his roster from 80 to 53 players. So, who will make the cut? Our Phil Perry takes one final stab at projecting the 53-man roster.

PUP isn't possible for either of them because they're not on it already, and PS would require placing 4th round rookies on waivers.

Zappe shouldn't make the 53-man roster. He doesn't even look like a serviceable backup. Chances are they can sign him to the practice squad after no other team wants an undersized and weak-armed quarterback who looks like a pick machine. Too much lack of depth elsewhere to carry 3 quarterbacks.

 

[crawhammer]

WR (7) D.Parker, K.Bourne, N.Agholor, J.Meyers, T.Thornton, T.Nixon, M.Slater
TE (3) H.Henry, J.Smith, D.Asiasi

Slater doesn't count. I'm keeping Humphrey over Nixon.

I'm all done with Asiasi. Certainly a better TE will get cut somewhere else that the Patriots can go after if they want. Asiasi has no future in the NFL.

Zappe is definitely making the 53. At times he has looked like a rookie but has also had his moments, especially against Carolina. The last two or three cuts are going to be very difficult but Zappe will be on the roster.

I don't doubt your accuracy here. I'm saying he shouldn't make the roster. So is Hoyer getting cut? My feeling is they're screwed either way if Jones takes a step back or gets injured but Hoyer at least is a competent backup if he's needed for the short-term (2-3 games)... I'm not trusting Zappe in that spot. Honestly I don't see any redeeming qualities in Zappe.

I'm pretty confident their going to take 3 qbs into the season.

Belichick has never cut a rookie 4th rounder. He's not starting now.

I agree with Humphrey over Nixon. I'm 50/50 on Asiasi.
