After waiver claims and filling 16 of 17 Practice Squad players, the roster is nearly set for the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> for the Opening game.<\/p>\n

These 5 moves were true:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tavai makes the initial 53 and is put on IR after<\/p>\n

Dugger makes the team because the team still has to pay him<\/p>\n

Pettus makes the team but could be cut for a claim<\/p>\n

Anfernee Jennings is either traded or kept on the team<\/p>\n

This move was partially true:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kendrick Bourne makes the team and is then put on IR.\u00a0 He was not put on IR which meant one of two things; either he is ready to play, or they are trying to trade him, which they can\u2019t if he is on IR.<\/p>\n

They tried to trade him and couldn\u2019t find any takers.\u00a0 The Vikings or 49\u2019ers were the prime targets.\u00a0 The Vikings re-acquired Adam Thielen, which wiped out those trade possibilities. Bourne has requested to be released.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Another report stated that the Pats asked Bourne to take a pay cut, which might be the reason that he requested to be released.\u00a0 According to Miguel \u201cPatscap\u201d Benzan, cutting Bourne saved the team $5.3M on the cap.\u00a0 \u00a0The 49ers are still rumored to be very interested in signing Bourne.<\/p>\n

Patriots Claim Two on Waivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

They claimed QB Tommy \u201cCutlets\u201d DeVito (NYG), and DB Charles Woods (LAR).\u00a0 Javon Baker was waived as the other move when they were awarded DeVito and Woods.<\/p>\n

Taylor Kyles reported that Woods is a Special Teams player who specializes as Gunner and Jammer, taking positions on Special Teams, which was Javon Baker’s position.\u00a0 Last season for the Rams he played in 13 games and had 168 snaps on Special Teams (Kick-24, Kickoff Ret- 4, Punt-29, Punt Return-41 and FG\/XP Block-33). \u00a0\u00a0I would expect that Baker, if he clears waivers, would be re-signed to the practice squad.<\/p>\n

DeVito carved up the Patriots’ backups in the last Pre-Season game with 17 completions on 20 passes, 85% completion percentage, 198 yards, 3 TDs, zero sacks, and a QB rating of 145.7.\u00a0 Yeah, I want that player on my team!\u00a0 In his two-year Pro career, he has started 8 games and had a 65.3% completion percentage, 8 TDs to 3 Interceptions.\u00a0 I actually like him over Dobbs.<\/p>\n

Keeping Kyle Dugger was a surprise to a lot of fans.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be surprised if Dugger moves to LB, just like Marte Mapu, who actually looked pretty good at the position in the Giants’ Pre-Season finale.\u00a0 I wrote before the season that the Patriots should move both players to Linebacker.<\/p>\n

Anfernee Jenning was rumored to be on the trading block, but I was impressed how hard he played against the Vikings well into the 2nd Half.\u00a0 He had three sacks in that game.\u00a0 He did not play against New York in the Pre-season finale due to a minor injury.<\/p>\n

Free Agent Signings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Now we should look at Vested Veterans that can be signed as Free Agents that don\u2019t have to go through waivers.\u00a0 Both FB Jakub Johnson and OT Trent Brown resigned with the Texans’ Practice Squad.\u00a0 Isaiah Simmons LB was cut, and he is a former 1st<\/sup> Round (#8) selection of the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

Corey Levin, a Guard \/ Center who played for Vrabel in Tennessee, was just released by the Titans.\u00a0 The 9-year veteran was on the Patriots Practice Squad for 2 days back in 2020.\u00a0 He has played for the Titans, the team that originally drafted him in 2017, for the last 4 seasons, but he has only had 4 starts for the Titans.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe there were not any offensive lineman that were better than Vederian Lowe or Caedan Wallace available to put a waiver claim on.\u00a0 The roster is still in flux and should be for the next 48 hours.<\/p>\n

Returned to Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Efton Chism, Anfernee Jennings and Jack Gibbens returned to practice today.\u00a0 Christian Gonzalez did not and that is now becoming a concern for his availability for week 1.<\/p>\n

Layden Robinson on IR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Robinson was waived on Sunday with an Injury Designation.\u00a0 When a player is waived like that, and if they are not claimed, then they immediately revert to the IR.\u00a0 However, Robinson was in limbo for a few days but finally reappeared and was on the noon transaction report yesterday with a reserve\/injured designation, meaning he’s been placed on IR.<\/p>\n

Initial Practice Squad<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CB Miles Battle<\/p>\n

G Mehki Butler<\/p>\n

G Jack Conley<\/p>\n

CB Brandon Crossley<\/p>\n

TE C.J. Dippre<\/p>\n

RB Terrell Jennings<\/p>\n

WR John Jiles<\/p>\n

DE Truman Jones<\/p>\n

C Alec Lindstrom<\/p>\n

CB Kobee Minor<\/p>\n

DT David Olajiga *<\/p>\n

LB Cam Riley<\/p>\n

DT Jahvaree Ritzie<\/p>\n

TE Gee Scott Jr.<\/p>\n

LB Bradyn Swinson<\/p>\n

WR Jeremiah Webb<\/p>\n

*_International Pathways Program Roster Exemption<\/p>\n

The Patriots have one more spot on their Practice Squad because of the IPP Exemption for David Olajiga.\u00a0 That spot could be used for Javon Baker if he makes it through waivers today.\u00a0 The Practice Squad is fluent as the season goes on. \u00a0\u00a0If they add Baker, that would be 3 of the 16 positions being WRs.\u00a0 Same could be said for DBs.<\/p>\n

A poster on X (Bret Judkins) made a comment “Is anyone at least a little surprised that the entire PS came from the Patriots 90-man roster after comments from staff about upgrading depth? Arguably, the NE 53-man roster is one of the thinnest. I expected the PS would have a lot of new faces, hoping to improve depth.\u201d\u00a0 We all know that this team lacks depth, as evidenced by that abysmal performance against the Giants’ 2nd and 3rd team players in the final Pre-season game.\u00a0 It appears that Vrabel is showing some loyalty to the players that have worked in his program all year, by filling his Practice Squad from players that were on the 91-man camp roster.<\/p>\n

History of Bad Drafts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Only Drake Maye and Caedan Wallace remain on the active 53-man roster from the 2024 draft.\u00a0 That is inexcusable, especially in light of that historically bad trade of what should have been Ladd McConkey and instead ended up being Ja\u2019Lynn Polk (IR for the season) and Javon Baker who was waived today.\u00a0 Most GMs would have lost their jobs over that move.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, the news gets worse.\u00a0 The inability of the Patriots to draft well is what has led to two straight 4-win seasons.\u00a0 From 2021 \u2013 2024 the Patriots only have 11 players on their current 53-man roster.\u00a0 That is 38 players drafted and only 11 players on the roster.\u00a0 The Patriots only have 1 player (Christian Gonzalez) on the Top 100 NFL Players list for both ESPN and the NFL Network.<\/p>\n

Undrafted Free Agents Need to Sign With Patriots <\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 21 of the last 22 seasons, at least one UDFA has made the initial 53-man roster.\u00a0 This year, we had two: WR Efton Chism and DE Elijah Ponder.\u00a0 I will also add that RB Lan Larrison and FB Brock Lampe were also trending towards making the roster.\u00a0 They were both placed on season-ending IR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
