Patriots Player Departure Official 2023 Patriots Roster Cutdown Thread (final roster in opening post)

Does TT not at practice mean something??
I'll actually be mad if they IR him for the year. It would ensure him being ANOTHER bust of a highly valued WR.

 

[Sciz]

He’s at practice?

I think he is safe on the practice squad I can’t see him showing anything at the pro level that would make a team claim him to their 53.

Yes, the only unexplained absence from practice is Taylor. Hines and Firkser were cut, and everybody else missing has a known injury.

If that occurs I vote to put in a motion that Bill can only draft WRs 4th round or later.

 

[captain stone]

This is sooo weird to me. Too sick to practice or participate all preseason, but activated for week 1? Well, there goes a roster spot, I figured he would stay on NFI to start the year.

Yeah this really ****s-up the whole roster... I mean how many OLmen who are Unfit for Duty (Onwenu & now Mister Anderson) are we going to have to support at the expense of two healthy players either on the OL itself or at other positions?

 

[captain stone]

Matt Sokol ****ing Sucks.

 

[PaulThePat]

it's a 7th round pick two years from now. That's like... next to nothing.

Brock Purdy says Hi.

 

[captain stone]

My goodness the Pats personnel moves keep giving us more and more to doubt. Is BB losing some acuteness?
Why wait until now to activate Anderson, leaving him no time to get acclimated or properly evaluate if he can even play the first month?
While trading for 2 OT's with almost 0 experience. After (re)signing 2 old OT's for decent $$, that you seem to be ready to cut?

Yep; activating Onwenu & Anderson when Neither of them is EVEN CLOSE to being ready for Week 1 is So ****ing Stupid.

 

[Ring 6]

OK Ryland......It's yours.

He'll either be the next Gost or next Scott Sisson.

He will never get as good a nickname as Sisson.

 

[yukon cornelius]

Yep; activating Onwenu & Anderson when Neither of them is EVEN CLOSE to being ready for Week 1 is So ****ing Stupid. More clown moves from Notgoat & Al Groh's kid.

You on the training staff now?

 

[captain stone]

So much for my cake mix box sig idea... <sigh>

I'm hoping he signs with our PS, so hang onto that dream for another couple of days...

 

[Schmo]

If that occurs I vote to put in a motion that Bill can only draft WRs 4th round or later.

Or just revert to Mel Kiper's draft board for early round WRs. Not a huge fan of his, but it's better than overthinking it.

 

[Ring 6]

It does make me feel better about it. Assuming Anderson is the backup LT (or just swing tackle in general) then the acquisitions are competing for the RT spot. That is between Sow, Reiff (if healthy, and if he's not permanently a RG now), maybe McDermott (if healthy), or the new guys.

The acquisitions may be needed while the other players get healthy.

 

[Ring 6]

I know it's never done, but they can keep 11, and instantly IR Reiff.

What did they think would happen drafting three, signing two to no cut contracts, Strange, Brown, Onwenu, Andrews?

What do you mean no cut contracts?

 

[Ring 6]

Makes 0 sense to get two OTs knowing Anderson is coming back . There are 3 possibilities.

Brown is getting traded
Or
Sow is getting foxborough flu
Or
Sow and Mafi are getting foxborough flu


I see reiff being on 53 and then getting on IR.

J Andrews will defly make the team as he is the only center backup.

There is no such thing as foxboro flu.

 

[Sfpat]

So 67 at practice. 53 on roster plus 14 on PS plus Thorton?

Shut your ancient pie hole, Dr. Van Nostrand.

 

[ivanvamp]

Brock Purdy says Hi.

So does Julian Edelman.

 

[Family]

What do you mean no cut contracts?

Sorry, meant there is little financial benefit to cutting with largeish guarantees.

Hoyer had one of these and got cut, so you're right.

 

[Wozzy]

There is no such thing as foxboro flu.

Sure.

 

[Sciz]

So 67 at practice. 53 on roster plus 14 on PS plus Thorton?

PS is 16. There are 4 injuries (Thornton, Bolden, Reiff, McDermott) and 1 absent for unknown reasons (JJ Taylor). Assuming Taylor is a cut (like Hines and Firkser, the other two healthy absences), that means two of the injured players are going on IR.

And then somebody will get claimed or signed to a different PS and it will all fall apart, but it’s a good starting point.
