    Brissett sucks. If you want a camp arm, fine. Other than that, pass.

    28-39, 341 yds 4 TD, 1 TD tonight vs NYG

    He's still raw but there is some potential there. Certainly much better than keeping a Wenning or a Yates. Anyway he's probably going to be kept after tonight's performance

    Lewis cut, Bolden cut and Foster on PS.
    If they put Foster on the PS I'd sign him to the roster.

    No way they cut Lewis, who is not only a good RB (although an injury concern) but also their primary kick returner. He may even field punts now that Jones is hurt. I think they keep Gillislee, Burkhead, Lewis, White and Develin (Fullback). They then may keep one of Bolden or Foster, or maybe cut both. I think they keep Bolden because of his ST ability and cut Foster. Foster is a guy worth picking up as a 3rd down-type back. He isn't that big, but is shifty and catches the ball well.

    Beyond that, the only other guys I think are possible are WR Carr and TE J. Hollister, but both are probably more PS-types at this point. I don't think they were ever thinking of cuttting Brissett, I think they like him and Garapollo is in the last year of his contract. They could cut OT Connor McDermott, but I think he makes it. He may have some potential as a developmental OT.

    While Bill Belichick has a spotty drafting record. He's notably better at personnel decisions after he's had a player to evaluate up close in camp. He gets a better chance to see their work ethic, level of dedication and football acumen up close.

    Less potential than Matt Cassell had. And he was the primary QB of an 11-5 season for Belichick. I think you have to stop looking at Belichick's players like you would those on other teams. He has a way of getting things outta chumps that others can't.

    I don't often agree with Goobylal, but he's spot on with this point imho.

    And living in Giant country I heard the pre-game discussions with coaching. They felt their first team was set and planned to run mostly bubble players in this game making those stats less impressive.

    Been there. Done that.

    Patriots wanted their roster spot back. They figured it was enough time passed having paid homage to big Gronk by having little Gronk around.

    Re: Patriots Cuts - Names to watch

    So this doesn't get lost in another thread and this is Pats-centric in thoughts to the Bills and his name was mentioned in the thread...

    Pats trade Brissett to Colts for Phillip Dorsett.

    Hope Dorsett doesn't get his stuff together with Brady throwing him the ball.

    Here you go for the person who wanted Austin Carr.

    Patriots make their moves to 53

    Every year I question something BB does, and every year I’m reminded why I do what I do and he does what he does for a living.

    Carr was claimed by New Orleans.

    Looks like the Bills claimed OT Connor McDermott from NE.
