Europe note

The Patriots will allocate center/guard Brian Barthelmes to NFL Europe this year. Barthlemes, who played in college at Virginia, ended the 2006 season on the team's practice squad.

The Patriots have also allocated punters Tom Malone and Danny Baugher to NFL Europe. Both Malone and Baugher were on the team's practice squad at the end of the 2006 season.

We kept him over Stevenson, so there's that to think about.

How so?

IIRC, Stevenson was on Miami's practice squad when Barthelmes was signed to the Pats. Of course, both Barthelmes and Stevenson were cut back in August.

Weren't they cut/signed within a week of each other?

EDIT: Within a day!

November 7, 2006 Claimed safety Rashad Baker off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings; released cornerback Antwain Spann and guard Dan Stevenson.
November 8, 2006 Re-signed cornerback Antwain Spann and center Brian Barthelmes to the practice squad.

I guess their offensive line is worse than ours.
