Demaryius Thomas cut

or its possible that N'keal harry is going to IR. has been injured and didnt play in the 4th pre-season game

It's ludicrous to release him. Gordon likely won't last 16 games. That leaves Edelman and rookies. I don't get this move whatsoever.

Phillip Dorsett is not a rookie

I guess its possible to carry 8 receivers if
one is primarily plays ST and the other is a return man and back-up DB.

Or if a few receivers are recovering from injuries and need to be inactive for a couple weeks. Or if several of those receivers hold the last few spots on the roster for developmental players that can be any position.

What YOU need to understand is that many who post here know more about the patriots than most of the media writing or blogging.

Many of us have been following the team for many years, some for over FIFTY years. And yes, we do know how the patriots operate. Many, many of us have been here long enough to very well understand the Belichick-Brady years, and how the team has operated for the last 20 years. For me, this is only my 40th season. I recall going downstairs at work and meeting the team reps on Draft Day.

I'm not bragging, in any way. There are lots of folks here who know much more than me.

I couldn't agree more.

Way to many people put stock in things idiots and football know nothings like Mazz say about football. Ridiculous.

So what if some Team wants to sign him?? Are we talk about a gentleman's agreement here??

He *could* receive an offer or two. That is true.

In any given year, THREE WR's get almost all (probably 85% or more) of the WR receptions. We always have a backup (our #4) who often has a ST role (like returner). Sometimes we have 5, including a returner. And yes, Slater make it 5 or 6.

That leaves us with the discussion of other we have ONE too many, or TWO too many.

This is a tough one. They seem to really like GO and JM. JG and JE arent going anywhere. They really like PD. DT is a luxury not a necessity but it would be nice to have him. But at what expense?

who is going to pick up Thomas? any confirmed interest from any team? What I've heard today from a slew of area media sources is there's a wink-wink agreement between Thomas and the team. I am in 100% agreement with MG's assessment but I'd like to add, in general the past 19 years, when has the roster on the Saturday before the opener a week later ever been the same? I expect more changes, more additions and subtractions going right up to the Wednesday practice...and beyond. It's just what BB does the first few weeks of the season. Honestly, I thought Thomas showed he's still got his hands and football savvy. Wonder where Brady figures into all this...

What happens if another team signs him before Monday? This could blow up in BB's face big time.

Do you think the Patriots are new at this?

Where’s that dude who was insistent that I “follow the money trail” in regards to Demaryius Thomas’ situation? He’ll know what’s going on.

If a team like the Chiefs or Chargers sign him, Pats are screwd. I don't get this move.

Thomas is not subject to strict waiver claims, he can decline another team's pick up. He will soon be safely back in the fold

The horrors. Someone better call BB and walk him off the cliff. If BB wants Thomas on the team (and I believe he does), it's already a done deal. A handshake and a wink.

This Thomas cut have huge Madden ramifications. Thomas is really good in Madden. My Six year old Son just throws it up to him and everytime he comes down with it.

Media hot take:

More evidence Belichick hates 6 year olds.

Going out on a limb - Harry doesn't play a down this season and is "red shirted"

How does DT come back? The guys that needed to be on IR are already there. Unless they plan to move N'Keal to IR as well, I think DT is gone for good.

They could IR someone else with a plan to return him after 8 weeks. That would open a spot tomorrow

Bodies have gone back and forth on this team all year round for the past 20 years. What is changing ? Granted they have a tough decision to make

I was just thinking of him. Didn’t he have like 24 transactions one year ?
