The Initial 53 Man Roster

Somebody explain those Two Ghost years after Cameron Latu was Drafted??
 
I just gotta say... I really hate when teams sign other scrubs off of bad teams cutdowns - who are indeterminately different than the guy you've had in your building for the last 4 months. Rouse, Muasau, Latu. These guys haven't done anything in the NFL either. And they're brand new to your system. If we're going to part ways with our young crop of guys, I get it - but it should be for serious contributors and upgrades at that position.
 

Why???

Transactions​


Well are we keeping 4 TE’s? We claimed him for a reason.
 
Wow! Presumably Jacobs and Obiazor are safe for now

 
They're only stupid if you don't know how to use the rules.
No they are stupid if you secured yo your disadvantage.
For some god unknown reason you want to expose the better players in order to keep the worst. Practice squad players are free agents. Anyone can claim them at any time.
Your argument that anyone who uses a practice squad call up, proves an example of putting your better player on the practice squad so you could could keep a guy you would never put on the field is ignorant.
Teams use the ability to elevate because it’s a tool. They don’t use it the way you suggest, because it’s dumb way to use the tool.

I wouldn’t say Latu came from a bad team. Neither did Rouse. Muassau is the only move we’ve done this with.

Kiner too I guess. But Arizona actually has a deep RB room.
 
If you told me after the Eagles game Britt and Vildor would not make the 53 I would’ve been stunned. Still am surprised.
 
Muasau has started 18 games the past 2 years. I'm gonna assume he's better than any of the backups LBs who have played in the preseason for us. I think this is a great pickup.

I also assume Cowden knows him. We’ll see, but they seem like he would be an improvement over Britt, Muma, et al.

You must have loved 2024. 19 different O-linemen on the 53 at one stage or another:

Calvin Anderson
David Andrews
Jake Andrews
Ben Brown
Lester Cotton
Bryan Hudson
Trey Jacobs
Michael Jordan
Nick Leverett
Vederian Lowe
Chuks Okorafor
Michael Onwenu
Layden Robinson
Tyrese Robinson
Lecitus Smith
Sidy Sow
Cole Strange
Zach Thomas
Caedan Wallace

Brown and Onwenu are the only ones still on the Patriots team and only 10 are even in the NFL. Happy days!

Britt cut.

Let's see who shows up active/inactive Wednesday night.
 
For some reason almost every position group on that paper list seems thin. In my mind we were a stronger (deeper) roster this year, but it just doesn't look like that. I'm not being a panic-fan, but we could struggle this year. If 1 injury to the top half of each position group, and we could be a 9 win team.
Weak at DE & TE, Very Old & Young/Injury concerns at OL, No experienced depth at DB & LB
WR & RB is the only area with good starters & decent depth (presuming Miller, Larison on PS)
last year, depth included Gibson, Gibbens, Jennings, Tavai, Hooper and Lowe.
all combined with well over 400 nfl games under their belts.
they are replaced by players that are certainly cheaper, and perhaps down the road might be better, but today, are those players better?
imo, the answer is... of course they are not
therefore, today, the team is not better
