New England Patriots News 7-26, RB Primer For Training Camp | PatsFans.com
Damien Harris, the 2nd year back from Alabama. Like Burkhead, Harris is a good back with the ball in his hands in both the running and passing games.

Early cuts to 80
Personally not surprised that Zuber and Hastings are gone that early but I know some will be.

Daily Patriots News and NFL Notes: 5 Things to Know - 7/26 | PatsFans.com
New England Patriots news and NFL notes for Monday July 26, 2021
www.patsfans.com
Gilmore, who is still recovering from offseason quad surgery, will reportedly begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list and it’s a good first step as he and the team continue working toward reaching some sort of compromise on his contract.
The veteran cornerback did voice some displeasure with reporter Josina Anderson recently about his current deal, which has his base salary for the 2021 season at just $7-million. Gilmore told her a few weeks ago “I just want what I’m worth, however that plays out.” However, he also added, “Hopefully we can find some common ground and get it situated.”
According to reports, while Gilmore would prefer a long-term deal, he’s reportedly willing to accept a bump in pay for just this season, much like the Patriots gave him prior to the 2020 campaign. ESPN’s Mike Reiss also suggested recently that New England could give him a deal similar to the one they gave former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady where Gilmore could get a raise for 2021 and then be able to seek a new deal elsewhere after this season.
For now, he’s at least here in New England and ready to get to work, whenever that comes. In the meantime, Gilmore will begin camp as a spectator as he continues rehabbing while likely hoping things get “situated” sooner rather than later.
2) Seeing Jarrett Stidham’s name come up on the PUP list was a surprise, and we’ve yet to hear any official news about his status. Reiss speculated in his Sunday column that the quarterback could be dealing with a nagging ailment that he could be managing, but it’s definitely an issue as he tries to establish his role for the upcoming season.
The overall thought on Stidham is that he’s potentially going to be the odd man out in the coming weeks as Mac Jones and Cam Newton begin what should be an interesting quarterback competition heading into training camp.

Jackson returns after signing a one-year, 2nd round tender. The team has to make a decision with him next year at the latest but should do so during the season to sew him up long-term.

New England Patriots 2021: Bounce Back Season or More of the Same? | PatsFans.com
The 2020 season will live long in the memory for many fans of the New England Patriots, sadly for all the wrong reasons. Suffering a losing season isn’t something that Pats fans are used to contemplating, but nonetheless it’s what awaited them after a run of poor displays and unfortunate events.

Patriots 53 Man Roster - Pre Training Camp Prediction, Morse's Morsels | PatsFans.com
Here is my prediction for the Patriot's final 53-man roster on the cut-down day! This is not the roster they will start the season with. I expect a few veteran players that are cut to re-sign immediately after the rosters and waivers are established to protect a few players they do not want to...

Patriots News 7/26: Daily Team Notebook | PatsFans.com
New England Patriots news for Tuesday, 7/26 along with some additional NFL notes.
www.patsfans.com
– According to the league’s transaction wire, New England Patriots linebacker Raekwon McMillan passed his physical ahead of training camp. It had been reported that the linebacker would start training camp on PUP, but the fact his name popped up having passed a physical could be a step in the right direction. McMillan suffered an ACL injury about a year ago but seemed like he was in good shape to make his return this season, especially after seeing a lot of action during OTAs. As a result, this could potentially be good news and will obviously be something to watch as the players finally begin preparing for the upcoming season this week.
– After New England waived defensive tackle Byron Cowart on Friday, the Indianapolis Colts claimed the former Maryland Standout on waivers one day later. Cowart was a former fifth-round pick taken in the 2019 draft by the Patriots and played in five games as a rookie, as well as seeing additional time when he started 14 games in his second season. It ended up being a fairly productive year and included a sack along with one pass defended. Unfortunately, he took a step back after starting 2021 on PUP and never came off of it and it’s obvious that the club opted to move in a different direction heading into 2022.
– Former Patriots receiver Danny Amendola has apparently decided to call it a career and retired from the NFL on Monday. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Amendola will now pursue other interests which could include moving to one of the various broadcast networks. Amendola, who won two championships during his time in New England, said of his NFL career, “It was better than I could have ever imagined,” and said he’s excited for the future.
– The Patriots obviously have some key areas to watch in the coming weeks, with the secondary certainly among them. New England saw J.C. Jackson depart during free agency this offseason and ended up signing Malcolm Butler and Terrance Mitchell, while also likely hoping for growth from Jalen Mills and a solid return from Jonathan Jones, who looked outstanding last season before suffering a season-ending injury. They also drafted Jack Jones and Marcus Jones, with Jack already making a solid first impression during OTAs. Marcus is coming off of an injury in college but we’ll hopefully see him out there to see what he can do in the weeks ahead.
– NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran believes that this group remains an area of concern, which he feels could ultimately be a key factor of how things go this season. “I understand why the Patriots said goodbye to both Stephon Gilmore and J.C. Jackson in the past calendar year. I don’t understand why drafting a corner earlier than the fourth round this year wasn’t a priority,” writes Curran. “Maybe Jack Jones will be Asante Samuel 2.0 — it appears he’ll have every chance to make a case — but there’s no way to look at the current corner depth chart and feel awesome about it dealing with the artillery the Bills and Dolphins are rolling out.” Curren also notes that both Mills and even Joejuan Williams emerging might potentially turn things, but he believes that what we see in training camp from this group is potentially one of the biggest storylines of this preseason.
– Some good news for anyone who has the NFL Gamepass subscription. The league announced its new NFL+ service that allows for access to live out-of-market preseason games along with all the other various features offered on GamePass, but with some additional content. The premium version cost actually went down $20 as well, dropping from $99 to $79 annually while still including the All-22 Coaches Film, along with condensed game replays. The regular version is $39.99 per year. According to the team’s official site, five primetime games will be available to watch with the app, which include the following: 10/24 vs Chicago (Monday Night Football), 11/24 at Minnesota (Sunday Night Football), 12/1 vs Buffalo (Thursday Night Football), 12/12 at Arizona (Monday Night Football) and 12/18 at Las Vegas (Sunday Night Football). It will also reportedly include the live local and national audio for every NFL game.
