As the 3 others are signed, players will have to go as well...so a total of 4 will have to be cut.
If they sign anyone, a player also will have to be cut. Id this a problem if a Law or Patten is signed?? Absolutely not.

arrellbee said:I believe that the Patriots lost an NFLE exemption when they cut Jeff Roehl who was one of the NFLE exemptions.
However, it is possible for the Patriots to have received 'bonus' NFLE exemptions depending on the playing time of those players in the NFLE. They may actually have a couple of those for a total of 10 originally - I believe 10 is the max for NFLE type exemptions.
If that were the case, it's possible that the Patriots could have a roster limit of 89 and would not be over the limit with the signing of Jackson and Mincey since there are three rookies as yet unsigned. (80 + 8 NFLE exemptions - 1 Roehl cut + 2 bonus NFLE = 89 ??)
Does anybody have a really good reference to the full formulas for exemptions ?
arrellbee said:Miguel - Thanks for info !! Being a fan of Vic's, I had that squirrelled away. But I was not clear at all about 'rookie/first-year' category or NFLE bonus exemption based on 'type of player' allocated to NFLE. In other info I have seen it is mentioned that NFLE bonus exemptions are granted based on player downs or performance and I didn't see anything like that mentioned in Vic's article. He doesn't go into whether an exemption is tied to the NFLE player and disappears if and when the player is cut rather than just being a 'general' roster slot. There doesn't seem to be much interest on the part of the NFL or other sites in providing some detailed insight into how it all works.
Pats1 - Thanks for the reference to ourlads site !! Guess I don't get it, tho. How do you tell about NFLE exemptions ?
arrellbee said:Thanks Pats1 !! But I'm still in the dark as to how the ourlads depth chart would show NFLE bonus exemptions in addition to the specific exemption for the player ? Did you notice another team that had such a bonus exemption listed in some fashion ?
