Patriots released Joe Cardona - LS.

Jahvaree Ritzie is a new name I hadn't seen previously.
Apparently signed, not just a tryout/workout.

Wilfred Pene's name isn't included on that list, and he's not listed on the team's roster after they finally added the UDFAs, so it looks like he may be gone.

Updated: This is updated with Pene's removal, along with the players and their associated numbers:

I have the Pats at 89 not including Pene who is part of the International Program.

Edit: I had missed Crossley on the Spreadsheet, it turns out.. LOL

I think Pene is gone. His name wasn’t on the signed list and he’s not on the team’s roster with the other UDFAs. So I removed him.

 

[DaBruinz]

Pene was at minicamp. Supposedly on a tryout basis. However, Doug Kyed ssid he was part of the International Program.

I knew about the international program and had him with the exemption, but like you said, it looks like he's part of the tryout group:


So that explains why he's not listed. I'll add him back in if/when he snags a spot on the roster ahead of training camp.

5/12:
Patriots waived Cole Birdow (T)
Patriots sign Mekhi Butler (G)
Patriots Sign Isaiah Iton (DT)
Patriots Sign Wilfried Pene (DE)

Based on my counts, these moves bring the roster to 91, with Pene's international exemption allowing for the additional roster spot.

5/14:
Patriots sign Trayveon Williams (RB)
Patriots waive Eric Johnson (DT)

Roster remains at 91, with Pene's international exemption still allowing for the additional roster spot.

NOTE: Trayveon Williams will not count as part of the Compensatory Pick equation.
