2023 Cuts and last minute trades

[YankeeRebel]

Today the final cut day. Teams have until 4:00 PM EST to trim their teams to 53 players.

Most teams will wait until 3:58 PM to submit their final rosters and will be watching the cuts to see which veterans or special team needs that they have might become available.

Will Bill cut players and chance that they won't get snapped up or will he try an end run, expose some upcoming players so he can protect more valued players?

Imagine yourself as a player at any position. The coach asks yo not to sign elsewhere because he'll resig you to the Parctice Squad and then you'll most likely make the 53 man roster or another team snaps you up and you're going to get the NFL Min. salary AND you'll be on their 53 man roster for at least 4 weeks. What would you honestly do?

If I've made it this far, "Sorry Bill, but I have to think of me. If someone offers me the chance to play every week and solidify my career, I can't be practice fodder for the Patriots. Thanks anyway."

ESPN is talking about multiple teams being involved in trade talks but nothing is set enough to formerly report.

They are saying that the Patriots are actively involved in talks with several teams about acquiring a TE. They are saying that Mike Gesicki may not be ready until week 3 or 4.

Many players choose to stick around.
best opportunity
more likely opening on 53
added money to sweeten the pot
recognition that they need to learn more

Gesicki has taken off the red, no-contact jersey.
Maybe he should mail it to ESPN?

Who and who?

Who and who?

Chasen Hines, the OG/OT taken last year in the 6th round. Wasn't very good, wasn't that bad. Filled in and held his own.

Anthony Fisker TE. I think he caught one pass in the preseason. Not special.

Hines was a long-shot to make the team - even longer when we saw him play.
Firkser showed some blocking ability but not enough for NFL
