The Pats already have way too many players signed. I was at OTC and was cutting everyone and still couldn't get to 53 without axing a few guys that everyone expects to make the roster.
No way the Pats have room for the 10 draft picks. I expect a few veterans to get traded before or during the draft.
Veterans that I wouldn't be shocked if they got traded:
Devin McCourty-traded not cut, has two years of voids on his contract after this one
Gilmore-makes more to extend him, but something has to be done, he isnt playing for 7 mil. Why load up on UFAs and then dump your best player?
Hightower-I would keep him, but he has a very high cap number and coming off a year away
Cuts:
Bolden
Lacosse
King
Vitale
Spence
Bower
Keene( maybe too soon to punt on him)
Virgin
Cunningham
and the two kickers
So I don't see the Pats making anymore FA signings (outside of camp bodies), unless they start unloading players.
