True but the surprise cuts usually come from a position of depth and we have depth at WR.No, because Bill said today he improved a lot since last year…
Wowza. Cutting Onwenu would be - IMO - a massive surprise. In fact, I can only think of a handful of players who I’d consider « safer ».Isaiah Wynn would be my pick, but his salary is fully guaranteed.
Going with Michael Onwenu
I would think if it looks like he can't play anymore because of the hip injury, the Pats will cut him instead of letting him just retire... That way he qualifies for/picks up the $2,050,000 Injury protection benefit, just like they did for Jules...I forgot James White as the odd man out but will retire so he's not cut.
That’s a good one. He’s a candidate for sure.Agholor and Meyers have trade value, especially if/when some WR's on other teams get injured in preseason games... they won't get cut, they'll get traded... and only if Thornton, Nixon and Wilkerson make them redundant.
I said Malcolm Butler a month or so ago, I'll stick with that.
Yeah I could see at least one LB getting cut such as Wilson, McMillan, Jennings, Perkins or Uche with McGrone going on PS. In fact, cutting a 5th rounder shouldn't be such a shock. If McMillan gets injured again, I see an injury settlement release coming his way.Strictly talking about cuts (not trades, which leaves Meyers/Agholor off my list): Butler, McGrone, Bethel, Cody Davis. I know McGrone is just a late round pick who missed his entire rookie season, but there was a huge hype train for him all offseason. As for the special teamers, I currently have them on my 53, but there will come a time when we move onto younger core special teamers and it might be this year.

The Onwenu mention seems crazy on the surface, but you have to factor in that the team seems to hate him for reasons unknown to fans. They made him ride the bench way too much last year and this week have been splitting his first team snaps with a guy named Hambright. I would be really mad if we cut Onwenu, but I would also not be super shocked.
Nobody stands out so far. Could be Agholor since we have some WR depth - but that would put a big dent in the cap.
I'm not convinced Zappe makes the team yet. Could be a surprise I think since he's having a decent camp.
Or M. Butler?
