Announced Patriots cuts: countdown to 53

Yeatman cut

Reiss says he was told he is cut - via tweet 5 minutes ago.

Oops should have stuck it in the right place, my bad.

I guess there was a reason Alge never signed retirement papers....

Re: Announced cuts: countdown to 53

Thank you for proving me right.

So where did those quotes come from? You defended Butler's play before even watching the game! Are you that dense? Is this bizarro world where up is down and left is right?

 

[Patspsycho]

Am I the only one more surprised by Yeatman than Meriweather?

The only thing I could find more shocking is if Ventrone made the roster. He has not been released yet.

I admit a sense of bewilderment, but I've learned through the years not to get too riled up. IBWT

Re: Yeatman cut

there's a thread for cuts.....

Re: Yeatman cut

I imagine he's headed for the P.S. for sure.

And it's time for cuts to be in. I wonder what the Pats did at the last minute.

No. I said that saying corners played terrible in a half where the other team completed 2 passes is ridiculous.
That is not 'defending Butlers play'. It is saying that you are a fool.

I won't be shocked with him making the team but will be bolwed over if he is still here by opening game.

Hmmmmmm ..... maybe, we're going to hold a card longer than we planned. It's nearly 6 pm. Probably, he clears waivers, blocking TEs shouldn't be too hard to find.

I don't think he'll clear waivers. Big TE's are hard to come by. Dolphins need one. I know Yeatman wasn't always consistent, but what rookie is, right off the bat?

Your mentioning the great picks but not the terrible picks Nikolai!!!Brace, Cunningham,Tate, Butler.Spikes needs to show more in order to say he was a decent pick.They have doned alot worse then u think.This is Cunningham's last year to do something.

If you think Cunningham is terrible, then you're not even worth responding to.

The Auburn Tigers could use some help on defense. Meriweather would have to take a significant pay cut, though.

Late draft picks almost always clear waivers. It would be very rare of an UDFA to not.
I know he was a fan underdog but he's just another guy that wasn't drafted and didnt make it out of camp to 31 other teams, along with some 800 other guys who got cut. Maybe 10 or 20 won't clear waivers. Those aren't good odds.

Dude, you're not reading properly. That's part of the strategy. Why do you think the Pats stockpile picks? Because it's fun?

I will say it again, in bolded letters:

The draft is a crapshoot. The Pats stockpile picks to improve their chances of getting a hit. Those that miss are cast off. It is part of the strategy.

It's pretty transparent.

Tate and Butler we can agree did not work out.

Cunningham need this year to show something.

I thought Spikes was fine last year for a rookie. Just needs to mature a bit.

Brace has been a bit of a dissapointment, but I would not call him a bust yet.

In other news...The Brandon Five will need to change his username.

remember that Manieri was a TE in college and Solder started as a TE and was converted to OT. Also Alge Crumpler is still sitting out there! I don't think that Yeatman will make it through waivers to PS
