Roster cutdowns - PATRIOTS

So that makes 4 UDFA'S on the 53.
I seemed to recall several posters who were animate that there was "no way" there was room on this roster for any UDFA's. Lol!

yeeah! and: makes sense!
had an eye on him game 1 . i guess the Waddle news from Howe was premature

The Waddle news may still be true. They may simply be keeping 9, which I think they should.

At some positions (WR) that is true at others it was obviously not.

More like Long and Nink and less like Ealy.

I know BB doesn't do it on purpose but he sure likes his white DEs doesn't he?

True. Croston makes Waddle redundant though IMO.
Then again Waddle makes himself redundant IMO as well so..

I had the pats,with 4 udfas including crosston. I had carr also though.

So i am awesome. Regarding 40 year old brady making the team, impressive, i guess his special teams play is what did it? See? Funny too.

Dorsett i don't get
Brisette had potential. They should have at least gotten some picks for him. Dorsett is johnny one route isn't he? Although i think he did torch butler. Is he even going to be able to learn the playbook?

Dorsett is our #5 WR for now, and our punt returner. He certainly doesn't need to be immediately ready for the offense.

Well the main issue with Dorsett is the question how he will take to the Pats offense system. .

You're probably right that the news on Waddle being premature. I suppose I somehow feel better thinking there are vets to backup those important tackle spots, but that's faulty thinking on my end.

Did Lucien make the squad then?
Even for for just a few weeks.

Yep. Great day for the UDFA lovers. Likely possibly still in play (though he didn't show a lot as returner)

Looks like 4 UDFAs and 1 2017 draft pick making the roster (depending on Garcia decision).

Two more UDFAs remaining at Foxboro on IR,NFI: Vereen, Jelks

And more to return to PS.

I liked killings too, hope he's on the practice squad.

Marsh is a strange duck. Covered in tatooes and plays a weird card collecting fantasy game. Ducks live in marshes sometimes, a little play on words.

Updated. I am sure I will make a mistake or 2. please correct it if i did.

QB (2) T.Brady, J.Garoppolo
RB (6) M.Gillislee, J.White, D.Lewis, B.Bolden, R.Burkhead, J.Develin
WR (7) B.Cooks, C.Hogan, P.Dorsett, D.Amendola, M.Slater, D.Lucien, M.Mitchell
TE (3) R.Gronkowski, D.Allen, J.Hollister
C (2) D.Andrews, J.Ferentz
G (4) S.Mason, T.Karras, J.Thuney, C.Croston
T (4) N.Solder, M.Cannon, C.Fleming, L.Waddle
DE (3) T.Flowers, D.Wise, C.Marsh
DT (7) A.Branch, M.Brown, V.Valentine, A.Butler, D.Kilgo, W.Hamilton, L.Guy
ILB(5) D.Hightower, E.Roberts, D.Harris, H.Langi, B.Ellis
OLB(3) K.VanNoy, S.McClellin, M.Flowers
CB (6) M.Butler, S.Gilmore, E.Rowe, J.Jones, W.Likely, J.Bademosi
SS (4) P.Chung, N.Ebner, B.King, J.Richards
FS (2) D.McCourty, D.Harmon
ST (3) S.Gostkowski, R.Allen, J.Cardona

Total players: 61

It wasn't confirmed OT's McDermott, Garcia and Jelks are cut/IR'd yet but i did see a tweet that said the Pats were keeping only 4 OTs and we confirmed the other 4 made it so I think this is where we are. Also Davis - DE is confirmed IR'd i think but I am not sure.

Congrats. I guess you projected the 5 or 6 injuries that happened so that we might end up with 4 UDFA's.

9/1/17 ...

CB Justin Coleman TRADED to SEA for 7th-rounder

FB Glenn Gronkowski WAIVED (12:30pm, Schefter Tweet)
TE Sam Cotton WAIVED (4:30pm, Reiss tweet)
OG Jason King WAIVED (4:30pm, Kyed)
LB Michael Bart WAIVED (4:30pm, Kyed)
OL Max Rich WAIVED (4:50pm, Mark Daniels)
DT/NT Josh Augusta WAIVED/INJURED (4:50pm, Doug Moore)
SAF Jason Thompson WAIVED (5:15pm, Mark Daniels)
LB Jonathan Freeny RELEASED (7:30pm, Volin)

9/2/17 ...

WR Tony Washington WAIVED (5:14pm, Doug Moore - 9/1/17)
WR KJ Maye WAIVED (Kyed)
LB Trevor Bates WAIVED (3:15pm, Kyed)
RB DJ Foster WAIVED (3.27pm, Kyed)
CB Killings WAIVED (3:45pm, Reiss)
OG Douglas WAIVED (3:45pm, Kyed)
CB Moore WAIVED (Kyed)
WR C. Hollister WAIVED (Reiss)
SAF Travis WAIVED (Howe)
SAF D. Jones WAIVED (Daniels)
DE Usher WAIVED (Kyed)

OL Jelks to RESERVE/NFI (Kyed)

SAF D. Jones WAIVED (Daniels)
DE Usher WAIVED (Kyed)
TE O'Shaughnessy WAIVED (Howe)
WR Carr WAIVED (Howe)
DE Grissom WAIVED (Daniels)

ADD: ST/DB John Bademosi acquired in TRADE from DET for a 2019 6th-round pick
ADD: DE/ST Cassius Marsh in TRADE from SEA for the 7th received in the Coleman trade + a 5th-rounder. Bottom line = Coleman + a fifth for Marsh.

SWAP: PATRIOTS TRADE QB Jacoby Brissett TO INDY for WR PHILLIP DORSETT (2:00pm tweet, Field Yates)
--------------------

26 LOST
2 ADDED

24 NET out of 37

(3) CERTAIN to IR: Edelman, Cy Jones, Rivers
(4) POSSIBLE to IR: McClellin, Garcia, Keionta Davis (thru waived/injured), King

That would leave 6 cuts to go, probably from the following list:

Richards
Lucien
McDermott
Ferentz
Waddle
Likely
Hamilton
Kilgo
Bolden
Waddle

Really? I'm going to venture a guess that those injuries had nothing to do with those particular UDFA's making the team. But whatever.

Did Garcia not make the team or he will be IR?

What injuries on the OL and at TE cleared the way for Croston and Hollister? Butler and Langi were making this team regardless.

OL: Garcia
Croston is the #5 OT.
We were keeping Fleming and Garcia, with no need for a 5th.

He may make the 53 for tonight and then be sent to IR tomorrow - in order to make him eligible to return.

Well fair enough but I'm thinking of him as a guard. He was better at IOL than anyone not named Karras.
