Patriots Player Departure 2026 Patriots Roster Cuts Thread

An up to date cheat sheet.


as has been pointed out, Gainer is a bit of a surprise. I would think that he is #5 EDGE, depending on whether Landry is activated.
Jones, Ponder, Swinson, Landry, Jacas, Gainer.

But that's fine; we should have no problem getting him on the PS.

One of the best defensive performers in pre-season, but he was always in at the end of games. I'm not sure the team sees him the same way. My guess is it'll be Luketa to the PS if he doesn't get claimed just because he was starting in pre-season. Swinson v Hutchins is probably the choice for the roster and Swinson might not make it through waivers considering there were teams reportedly interested in taking him off the PS last year. Maybe they designate Landry for return, roster both Swinson and Hutchins and postpone that decision for 4 weeks.

Pure speculation on my part though. Roster management is not one of my strong knowledge areas.
 
Pats should certainly be scouring the market to either trade for some of these deeper teams players or try and get some vets in here. No surprises thus far but they’re in desperate need of depth specifically at linebacker and edge

Fans keeps saying how desperate they are, especially at these positions. Then they trade draft picks for RB and a safety. I’m not sure these fans have their finger on the pulse of this team.

For a fan base that saw the corpse of Cam Newton start a season's worth of games, it feels luxurious to be so worried about depth and role players.

Relax, people. Every NFL team has depth concerns. No NFL roster is solid top to bottom.
