Sheesh talk about up against the clock.

Like pulling teeth. Something has to be going on.

It's 5 after 4 and the last three have not been listed. NFL.com doesn't have one final 63 man roster for any team. Sounds like the league is giving everyone an extra 30 minutes to do trades etc.

Flowers cut

Marquis that is.

 

[Old Lion]

Pats should probably try to scoop Jace Billingley up who was cut by the Lions. Nice backup for Pedelman. Very similar just not as talented.

Teams are still cutting.

Receivers (4)
Chris Hogan
Phillip Dorsett
Cordarrelle Patterson
Matthew Slater

Ouch.

Bolden cut too. Wow.

Seems like they plan several other moves. Only 3 Wrs? Why not keep McCaron until they have a better option?

.... and finally the axe got Bolden (finally meaning he was on the bubble the past 3 yrs).... but hasn't he been cut before then quickly resigned?

Was it Bolden or Green-Ellis? Either way the Pats have a problem. Tom might be a little impatient. A little.

Please no. Coleman costs nothing because he adds nothing.

I'd be willing to take a chance on him. There is a reason he was a first round draft pick out of Baylor. Speed alone he was a 4.3 40 guy. Not know for running the crispest of routes but a burner on the outside and that's what NE could use right now. I really think playing in Buffalo and Cleveland has held him back? He has the tools he just needs to get them out of the tool box. Again if NE could get him on the cheap and trade Brown for other help I'd do it.

Sucking at football is what has held him back

OK I'll play along.

Let's say NE could get him for next to nothing. Which is quite possible. Keeping in mind NEs limited cap space available. If not taking a flier on him, who would you bring in for the same cost?

He's a smart kid that has quicks. Sure he could continue to not meet expectations. But we've also seen NE turn guys like Edelman and Welker into pro bowlers. I'm not saying he's either of those players, I'm just saying when you have raw talent and NE finds what you do well it's a win for everybody.

Low cost with a possible high return.
