The Patriots have begun the process of trimming their roster to 53.
Today, the Patriots announced the release of quarterback Andrew Walter, guard Billy Yates, defensive lineman Steve Williams, linebacker Vinny Ciurciu, wide receiver Robert Ortiz, and safety Roderick Rogers.
Of that group, Andrew Walter is the only surprise, while Yates, Williams, and Ciurciu were bubble players, [...]
Note: Guys, I’m really sorry for the hiatus in posting. Unfortunately, it was out of my control. Basically, the permissions on the database got screwed up, and I wasn’t able to update the website, as the articles wouldn’t save. Fortunately, it looks like the issue is finally solved, so lets get back to blogging.
Now, with [...]
With a couple of weeks of training camp and a preseason game out of the way, I thought I’d take another look at what I think the Patriots final 53 man roster will look like. Back at the start of June, I made my first projection. Last week, I made my second. Here comes the [...]
Most Patriots fans know that 2009 will probably be Tedy Bruschi’s last season as a New England Patriot. However, some think that with the development of Jerod Mayo and Gary Guyton, Bruschi could be closer than ever to his way out. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com puts his own spin on it:

The Patriots got a few players back from injury today, with Shawn Crable, Ty Warren, and Richard Seymour all suiting up for practice. Seymour had been out injured for the past few days, and Crable and Warren started camp on the physically unable to perform list.

QB: 1. Tom Brady 2. Kevin O’Connell 3. Brian Hoyer
RB: 1. Laurence Maroney 2. Sammy Morris 3. Kevin [...]
Training camp 2009 is now in its fifth day, and things are rolling along pretty smoothly. Yeah, there’s been some bumps and bruises and the rust isn’t completely worn off, but things are steadily improving.
Some players that have stood out to me early are Jonathan Wilhite, Greg Lewis, Sebastian Vollmer, Tully Banta-Cain, Brandon Meriweather, Leigh [...]
With the Patriots first training camp practice beginning in just a few minutes, I thought I’d take a look at a couple of roster moves the Patriots made over the last couple of days.
To start, the Patriots released two players; cornerback Jamar Love and offensive lineman Jermail Porter. They finalized a four year contract with [...]
Overview
I don’t think there’s any question who Tom Brady’s top two targets will be at the wide receiver position in 2009, with Randy Moss and Wes Welker both returning. But after those two, there are a lot of questions at the wide receiver position, considering the departure of the Patriots’ second outside receiver Jabar Gaffney. [...]
Overview
The Patriots had the sixth ranked rushing attack in 2008, and with nearly the entire core of rushers returning (sans Heath Evans and Lamont Jordan, who departed to the Saints and Broncos via free agency), plus newly acquired Fred Taylor, the Patriots running back group looks to be a force to be reckoned with in [...]
