    Patriots Cuts - Names to watch

    Okay, I think the Bills need RB, TE, & WR help and I'm not sure how many of these players the Patriots can keep on their team.

    Some names I'd be all over if they are released:

    Rex Burkhead
    DJ Foster
    Austin Carr
    Jacob Hollister
    Malcolm Mitchell

    In addition to the names we already know who would be surprises if they got cut.

    The Patriots 2nd team offense is better than our first team offense

    The Patriots are probably waiting to see who we cut....

    I hope the Bills find a way to keep WR Brandon Reilly. He looks like he could be a good player.

    You never know...

    Gillislee
    White
    Lewis
    Burkhead
    Bolden (special teams ace)
    Foster (young kid they are high on who is being used a lot in pre-season in a similar way as Burkhead but cheaper)


    Most teams keep 3. I cant see them keeping more than 5

    I see them keeping Gillislee, White and Burkhead.

    Lewis cut, Bolden cut and Foster on PS.

    A Burkhead - Reilly Cornhusker reunion would be awesome.

    Re: Patriots Cuts - Names to watch

    Why is it that everyone thinks the Pats have 53 people on their roster that could start for the other 31 teams in the league.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Oh and not to mention their offensive and defensive systems are completely different than ours, but not to fear their players are perfect fits for our system

    So, let me get this straight... we're gonna close the talent gap between us and the Patriots by signing the guys who weren't good enough to make the Patriots?

    That's not the correct way to think about this. Talent isn't the only thing that will go into their cut calculus, fit, redundancy, health, numbers at other positions. The Patriots maybe more than any team in the league this year will be cutting some guys they'd prefer to keep, good players that can help a lot of teams including ours. It's not a zero sum game. If we improve our roster by whatever means that's a good thing. They are also in a win now mode. You could see some developmental guys like Carr and Hollister available because they just don't have room on a loaded roster. Foster is another interesting guy, they might try to stash him on the PS. We're going to have a lot of churn at the bottom portion of the roster one would hope so yeah the premise of this thread is correct.

    Re: Patriots Cuts - Names to watch

    I would add Jacoby Brissett to the list. He will play a lot in tonight's game against the Giants and if he struggles he could be cut. NE will have to be ruthless with their roster evaluations this year. Brissett is still a project but I like him a lot more than Cardale (maybe that's saying nothing but Brissett has potential). I would be in favor of signing him if he is cut and he is on the bubble.

    Re: Patriots Cuts - Names to watch

    Why would you want to follow the waiver wire of the one team least likely to make a mistake in cutting a player?

    did you read the thread? They will be cutting guys that are good players because they have a wagon. It isn't about them making a "mistake"
