I am saying Woodhead based on Vereen being able to take 3rd down role and Demps being the primary kickoff returner now.
Probably Woodhead. He has presumably lost any chance that he had at the kick return job to Demps. Vereen has reportedly looked very good catching the ball. None of the RBs stick out in pass blocking. That leaves Woodhead as a backup 3rd down back and draw specialist, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not sure that Woodhead gets cut for Demps, since the Pats still don't know what they have in the new guy (and won't until he takes the field), but I do think that the chances of Woodhead re-signing with the Pats when his contract are up just took a pretty major hit. If he's not going to be a significant contributor, then I doubt that he factors into the long-term RB equation enough to warrant a roster spot there alone.
At this point no one. The Pats have carried five RBs in recent years. I don't know if he takes anyone especially since he is likely going to be a special teamer specialist.
Woodhead has played more snaps at RB the last 2 years than anyone on the team.
You are going to cut him for a track star?
It never ceases to amaze me the stuff people come up with around here.
We carried 5 backs last year.

If he ends up on the 53 man roster, then by definition he's taken someone's spot. My guess would be that it's at the expense of one of the skill position players who's expected to contribute on ST - that makes the most likely roster casualty, IMO, either a fullback or a 4th TE. Maybe Stallworth, since if I'm not mistaken he was getting some reps as a returner?
Stallworth, Bolden, Larsen or Fiametta, Edelman, or Woodhead would seem to be the players most threatened by this move. All of those other than Bolden have proven NFL value and it is conceivable that they could get something for pretty much any one of them. Only Woodhead could get them a pick as high as the 4th imo.
