The New England Patriots continue trimming down their roster today. Three moves have already taken place today White Chris Hogan Jerseys , with a fourth one just being reported by NESN’s Doug Kyed: the Patriots are apparently parting ways with offensive lineman Jason King. The Patriots re-signed King on a futures deal following the Super Bowl, but let him go after the draft. Having spent a week on the open market, the team re-signed the offensive lineman yet again on a one-year contract that was scheduled to hit its salary cap with $481,000. But while he is one of the cheapest players on the roster and brings some experience to the table, he again was unable to make an impact.Even with the 24-year old out of the picture, the Patriots are deep along their interior offensive line behind starters David Andrews, Joe Thuney and Shaq Mason: Ted Karras Chris Hogan Jerseys 2019 , James Ferentz, Luke Bowanko, and Brian Schwenke are all fighting for what appears to be a maximum of two spots on the team. Due to the move, New England now has 85 players on its roster.

Crossen’s standing on the team, meanwhile, was already somewhat uncertain due to the second-round investment in cornerback Joejuan Williams; Webster is another player he will have to stand his ground against.Loser: P Ryan AllenEven though he is coming off an outstanding Super Bowl performance, the Patriots look to upgrade Ryan Allen’s punter job for the second straight year: undrafted free agent Corey Bojorquez failed to unseat him in 2018, now fifth-round rookie Jake Bailey will try. The message is clear that the serviceable but statistically average Allen, who was only re-signed on a one-year deal in free agency, needs to step up his game.Winners: WR Braxton Berrios & WR Bruce EllingtonNew England addressed its need at wide receiver when it chose N’Keal Harry in the first round. But even though club still remained in the market for more depth at the position Eric Rowe Jerseys 2019 , it did not add a developmental interior/slot option on days two or three. This is especially good news for Braxton Berrios and Bruce Ellington: both players are on the roster bubble but with the exception of undrafted rookie Ryan Davis did not see any extra competition brought in through the draft.Loser: QB Danny EtlingWith the Patriots drafting Jarrett Stidham in the fourth round, the writing is on the wall for Danny Etling: unless New England keeps four quarterbacks on its active team or moves on from veteran Brian Hoyer he will again not find his way onto the 53-man roster. Beating out Hoyer actually appears to be his best bet, and with one year of experience under his belt it would not be all that big of a surprise if he succeeded. The odds are still against him, though, even more so after Stidham’s selection.Loser: DE Derek RiversDerek Rivers already was listed as a loser yesterday due to New England picking Chase Winovich in round three. Sunday’s selection of versatile but raw Byron Cowart adds further competition to the position group — and more pressure on Rivers, who has shown little over the first two years of his career. The former third-round draft pick finally needs to live up to the potential he showed early in 2017 to make the team. « Jets 2018 Roster Countdown: Number 52 AnthonyCarson Wentz has a back injury. » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
