Patriots cutdown thread

[Bill Lee]

For those who like to complain about draft picks being cut:

 

[patsinthesnow]

Deatrich Wise (now at 280+ lbs) had a great camp after an inconsistent career.

Derek Rivers in his fourth season may be healthy finally be able to contribute.

The last stand for the abysmal 2017 draft class, Hopefully one of them can surprise.

 

[Bill Lee]

OL heavy initial 53. Both Cunningham and Herron made it.

Yep:


Are we ready for some football?

 

[venecol]

The following players have been released:

WR Andre Baccellia, TE/DE Rashod Berry, DL Tashawn Bower, OL Ben Braden, DB Myles Bryant, TE Jake Burt, TE Paul Butler, K Nick Folk, OL Tyler Gauthier, LB Terez Hall, LB Scoota Harris, QB Brian Lewerke, LB Cassh Maluia, RB Lamar Miller, DL Bill Murray, TE Paul Quessenberry, K Justin Rohrwasser, DB D'Angelo Ross, WR Devin Ross, RB J.J. Taylor, WR Jeff Thomas, DL Nick Thurman, DL Xavier Williams and WR Isaiah Zuber.

A whole lot of dead weight.

Izzo Would have preferred for Taylor or Thomas.

No surprises except cutting Folk to keep an extra offensive lineman.

 

[venecol]

That WR corps looks scary.
No depth at LB.
TE & Edge suspect.

You do realize that Thomas wasn't part of the team and could be added tomorrow if the Patriots claim him.

Rivers...

 

[DaBruinz]

May not have been to keep an extra O-line. May have been to keep Allen so they can IR him.

 

[DaBruinz]

People should keep in mind that the Patriots tried to claim Chase McLaughlin off waivers last year but the Colts had the higher waiver priority so they got him. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots try and claim him again.

 

[luuked]

can’t bailey do kick offs?

Doesn't mean that they wouldn't want two layers of protection and a way to keep legs fresh.

Again it is just my speculation because reports about his "cannon" have stuck out to me over the last four weeks.

May not have been to keep an extra O-line. May have been to keep Allen so they can IR him.

IMO a veteran player FA signing like Allen either has made the team or not.

It's more likely the team likes all the young OL players and doesn't want to lose any of them.

 

[Vatahala]

With 17 first and 2nd year players on the roster I wonder where Pats are now ranked on the NFL team average age list.

 

[long distance]

Only surprise is Cassh. Just a small personal surprise of course. Injuries never help though..
Hope they can bring him back..

OL is of course heavier with one extra game day roster spot for the position.. Quality of depth is another matter..

 

[Patsgofor4]

You do realize that Thomas wasn't part of the team and could be added tomorrow if the Patriots claim him.

Huh? Jeff Thomas, whom they cut this morning?

 

[long distance]

BB would cut himself if he could save a roster spot for a STer..

yep. 100% ST survival rate (unless you count kickers

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

TE & Edge suspect.

Yes they could use more beef upfront. This wr unit won’t scare nobody. They would need guys like harry to show up finally and gunner to do well.

 

[Deus Irae]

Who's the guy going to IR that Folk is going to replace on the roster?
