It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Reading that someone thought he was a “cut candidate” is not the same as being cut.Read that he was a cut candidate in Cleveland. If true and the Patriots traded for him anyway then Strong had to be a cut candidate too. Otherwise why trade for him.

If he were cut he would be subject to waivers. Trading for him means 100% you get him.
Patriots are 15th in the waiver claim order. They must have thought someone before them would claim him. Or, they were going to cut Strong anyway.Reports also say Wheatley was a cut candidate so unless Strong wasn’t long for this team either (possible) it’s odd they’d swing a trade for a guy they could have had for free in a couple of days.
Maybe after cutdowns. If Reiff can come back during the season, we’re going to need him sooner or later.Does this mean we see Riley reiff go into IR to start off with . Looks like JJ Taylor will make the team.
This tells me that they liked what they saw from JJ Taylor and had him and Strong relatively equal, so one wasn’t gonna make the roster. JJ made big strides this camp.Read that he was a cut candidate in Cleveland. If true and the Patriots traded for him anyway then Strong had to be a cut candidate too. Otherwise why trade for him.
