Anyone know when they have to announce cuts?

 

[The Gr8est]

Is Wheatley the one we traded for with Cleveland last year, or was that Lowe?

Anyone know when they have to announce cuts?

Looks like August 27th:

"For the 2024 season, the NFL’s 53-man roster cutdown deadline is Aug. 27 by 4 p.m. ET. Every franchise must reduce its roster from 90 players — the maximum allowed during the summer — to 53 by this deadline."

Both - I believe they came together in the same deal.

EDIT: They didn't - here are the two transactions:

Patriots get Browns' Tyrone Wheatley Jr. for Pierre Strong Jr.

The Patriots have acquired offensive tackle Tyrone Wheatley Jr. from the Browns in exchange for running back Pierre Strong Jr.

I guess that's not what I meant. If they cut Wheatley yesterday, are they obligated to announce it within a certain time frame or can they just wait until cut down day (8/27)?

Just when I was starting to get good vibes about the OL...

The thing with Lowe is that he was put in a very tough spot last year and he was atrocious.

But now he's a second year player with some experience. Really hope we wouldn't be back here so quick but if Wallace and/or Chucks can't handle it then Lowe offers a little bit of hope if there's a second year leap to be had.

That's a lot of finger crossing, rabbit foot rubbing, and first star gazing/wishing.

Yesss another nail in BB the GM Coffin.

IMO they like Chuks and Wallace as starters with Anderson as a backup. I don’t think they like the depth after that for camp and preseason. They probably see the new guy as better depth with more upside than Wheatley.

Wheatley was traded from cle, lowe was traded to us by Minnesota

I think the new guy was on his way to the Boston Aquarium for the weekend and they asked him to stop by. Because Y knot.

It could be multiple thing.

They could want to see if Lowe can be a decent backup to Wallace. Or they want to balance the two lines to avoid leaving Maye getting killed have no time at all.
