His family has been tied to Belichick in many ways over the years.Not really sure what Ferentz did to deserve a continued look as a professional football player.

There should be a button for neither strongly agree nor disagree I'm in between on this statement.He torched first team playing the jags. He caught everything in hi catch radius.
If you think the Saints picked him to fill a roster spot for a few weeks in an O he is not familiar with I can't help you.

Carr was way too good to cut.
Having richards on as a safety does not in any way improve safety depth. Unless you count standing there while players zoom by him to be "depth". Or doing an ole with his bad angles.
Should have signed nate sudfeld to the ps or even the 53.
Killings i thought had potential. Should be somewhere on a practice squad.
I don't understand this question? What in my post suggests we don't?Don't we have the same OT's as last year?
I'm not saying Richards is one of the best players on this roster or might not be cut tomorrow.
But hopefully people have noticed the Pats used a lot of 3-3 and 5-1 fronts in Preseason Game 3. Richards played all game and spent a lot of the day as an EOL/EDGE player in those looks. That role fits his MO to a T and he didn't look out of place doing it. I can't say exactly how well he did but the Patriots tested him out thoroughly this preseason in what is essentially a new position. The one guy who did look out of sorts in those fronts (Kony Ealy) was cut basically the next day, so this wasn't a weird experiment or a small part of the team's plans. They want guys that can do this and Richards apparently can.
This may be the first time in Patriots history the elusive big safety/linebacker has made the opening roster. That's what I think Richards is at this point.
Has Richards grown during the offseason? 5'11" 210-215 isn't big safety/LB size. Seems as though Richards was hand picked by BB and overdrafted and has become one of his pet projects. It's not going to end well, in my opinion (and many others'). It's a shame to lose someone with potential to be a CB3/4 at some point this year like Moore, in order to keep him. I doubt that Richards would have been picked up on waivers, despite his draft position. Was it really that important to have Richards on special teams against KC?

#2. Kenny Moore. It was a little hard to gage his performance because the ball was rarely thrown his direction. But I hate the idea of losing talented corners more so than any other position. It is a passing league and I vividly remember the days of Wilhite etc. Same reason I didn't want to lose Logan Ryan. Consistent and durable etc.
You are overlooking his 3 tackles in 2016. Without those, who knows where we would have finished.What he lacks in big safety/LB size he makes up for in big safety/LB lack of speed

I am too. But, now I'm starting to wonder if I'm overvaluing him.Man, I'm overjoyed Foster is back on the PS. I know most posters don't see much in him, but I just really like what he brings to the table. I'm happy he still wants to be part of the organization, and I wonder if he will continue to be paid almost like a member of a 53 (like last year) and if he will ask teams not to try signing him off the Pats' PS. He may take a little more time to develop but if a guy like Dion is gone next year and/or if Burkhead does not re-sign (or injuries hit the position this year), Foster could become a real contributor.

Last year, the Patriots kept him on the active roster most of the season. Cut him once and put him on the practice squad, then immediately added him to the active roster again.
However, then I remember -- he was undrafted. Nobody claimed him last year when he was cut. Nobody claimed him this here. Is he JAG?
Jordan Richards was so valuable on special teams that he was inactive during the 2017 NFL Playoffs.richards plays ST's as a backup should
Carr would have been the #6 WR with no ST's
We should realize that this practice squad is just a starting point.
Nick Caserio will tweak it all season long as better players are available.

Glad you know so much more than BB. You should insist that Kraft fire him and you replace BB.Carr was way too good to cut.
