Williams waived

The Patriots announced that defensive back Gemara Williams has been waived.

The 23-year-old played at the University of Buffalo and was a longshot to make the Patriots' 53-man roster. He was initially signed as a rookie free agent.

...and we go right back to the roster number mystery.

Offseason limit: 80.

Patriots current roster = 91.

8 NFLE exemptions (includes Henry) = 83

1 Bonus Exemption (Jackson), a late development per Ourlads.com = 82

1 unsigned rookie (Maroney) = 81

5 players (Pass, Kaczur, Harrison, Koppen, Gay) will also reportedly be placed on the Active/PUP list, which means they likely still count against the roster limit.

He points to the sky and says, "There goes Gemara !" as he waxes poetically about the 1960's Japanese Monster movies.
