I would be surprised if they cut him if healthy. Caught on well last year and they resigned with some guaranteed money. I think they'd seen enough of Dobson, so why was he cut?
There's got to be another receiver on the way more than likely in form of a trade.
What I'm thinking is that Foster who is a placeholder for Lewis at present, may well be our 5th receiver, depending on Dion's health and progress.
Don't forget Foster played WR his last year at ASU, and they run the spread.
Yup, and White could help out too.

Man he is a JAG, I don't get the love some here have for this guy. Ok he was a nice mid season pickup (actually early in the season) but that's what he is. You don't plan going into a season with Keysahwn Martin as a receiver unless he is your #5 and even so there's got to be someone with more upside that has been cut from other teams.
While I agree with the first part of you post, that last sentence really doesn't take into account the complexity of the NE playbook. Picking up someone else for WR would mean we can't hope to use them for most of this season at best.
I agree, it does strike me as a little bit odd. Of all four of our guys Hogan, Edelman, Amendola and Mitchell, only Hogan appears to be fully healthy - - and even he was dinged with a shoulder issue somewhat recently.This was a surprising move to me given that many on this board picked the Pats to have at least six WRs (does not count Slater) given that three of our main receiving targets (Edelman, Amendola, Gronk) are injury prone and another guy who currenlty is injured (Mitchell). I figured if there was any season to splurge on receivers it was this one.
I know, guys like White and Foster help.
