Patriots 2025 UDFA Players

[nefansince75]

NE killed it thru FA, draft and the UDFAs they signed. The roster is huge and I'm sure it's not going to be easy for Vrabe's to make all those cuts. I can see some potential trades for future mid to late rounds picks once other teams figure out what they have in camp and injuries start to accumulate. Vrabel looks to be revamping the entire squad minus the majority of quality starters. I see a lot of the back ups being released so they can hold onto some of this younger talent. Most of the new additions all seem to have good character, and the eat, sleep and die football attitude.

Good luck Mike, not going to be easy.

Don't count on those trades. Lots of teams have tough cuts and why would a team trade for someone who can't make the cut? Maybe a guy like Bourne could have value, but for the most part, if they have value to other teams they have value to us.

Part of the process, I think we all maintain this is not a one-year process, but year one of the process is off to a great start. Trades could be tricky b/c all teams know we and any other team have to make roster cuts. They will wait until a player is cut then move in.

I am intrigued by this UDFA QB the Pats signed, I want to watch film on him. I feel you have to carry three QBs so he has a legit shot at making the roster.

Vrabel can take 90 players into full training camp. He can carry all of them until after the 2nd preseason game when he has to cut to 73. Then he has two weeks to trim down to 58. Plus 17 on the Practice Squad if other teams don't poach.

He'd be smart to start trimming after the first preseason game. If it were me, I'd be trying to trim down somewhere between 75-80. Then trim again the following week 65-75. That's when I'd be promising hard money to be on the PS.

Unless there is a known market and the team in question is further back in the claim pecking order.

New rules, remember? All cuts done at once.

Was not aware, that's interesting.

As of 2023, all cuts are made after final preseason game.

I really like the Larison kid.

I believe there is a bit of a "but his competition sucked" like what Reb was hanging on Jeanty when it comes to his abilities as a running back, but some of his catches in his highlight reel are insane.

New England might've found a sleeper.
