An Evolution for the Patriots in NFL Football is Imminent
As of this writing, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is tinkering on revamping the Patriots roster.
A BIG revamp at that.
Rumors have it that the New England Patriots are looking to bring back the Super Bowl glory days of yesteryears by rounding up waived players from other teams at the end of the NFL Football preseason.
If the Pats' do that, then they could very well find themselves in an entirely different landscape this coming NFL Football season. Whether that could be a good or a bad thing remains to be seen.
The first cuts are due by tomorrow at 4 pm, when teams must be down to 75 players. In the past, teams had to be down to 65 players on the first cutdown day.
That means the big wave of available players won't be there until the final cutdown day Sept. 2, when teams trim from 75 to 53. While NFL Football Europe exemptions run out tomorrow (they've lasted to the second round of cuts in the past), coach Belichik surmised yesterday that there will be around 100 extra players on rosters this week compared to past years.
Consequently, there will also be around 100 extra free agents to sift through following Sept. 2. It's hard to tell how it will play out, other than creating more work for personnel departments around the league next week.
''How it will affect everyone else, I don’t know,'' Belichick said.
The New England Patriots will have to cut 10 players between now and tomorrow. Belichick wouldn't say whether some of the cuts would come sooner.
Can Tom Brady lead the New England Patriots all the way to Miami, Florida and win Super Bowl XLI? Sports Interaction has the outright odds on that one.
