Mitchell Loewen (NFI) and Avery Young (NFI) would get us to 89 I'm not sure of they count or not.

Bill Belichick discusses risk of exposing players to waiver claims

Belichick discusses exposing players to the waiver wire


“It’s something you take into consideration, it’s a hard thing to predict,” Belichick said when asked about weighing the risk of a released player the Patriots would like to re-sign to their practice squad getting claimed.

“There’s going to be, I don’t know, certainly going to be a lot of players, probably over 1,000 players that will be exposed to waivers in the next eight calendar days or whatever it’ll be. I think the average claim is somewhere in the high 20s there…so that’s what the odds are. We’ve had years where we haven’t had any of our players claimed and we’ve had years where we’ve had multiple players claimed. I think at the end you just have to do what you think is best for your team.”

One thing that is predictable: the Saints' cuts will be announced ~5 minutes or less before the deadline.

Wasn't there one year where none of the cuts were announced until after the deadline?

 

[GameBreaker]

Technically, the deadline is to report to league office. So if they wait until last minute, we will not learn of the official cuts until after.

Exactly. I'll check this thread again tomorrow evening.

This round of cuts shouldn't be hard to predict and certainly won't have surprises.

Never know. This is typically when SP likes to let veterans go to allow them time to find more work

 

[St.Dan]

Do we keep Coleman and/or Murphy? I guess it'll be determined by forces we're not privy to.

 

[insidejob]

Looks like letting Ben Watson go wasn't the worst decision ever. I heard that he tore his Achilles this weekend in a non-contact injury. I feel terrible for him because I love him as a player and human being.

That being said, I'm glad it's the Ravens problem losing a starting TE one week before the season starts and not ours.

True, but I'm talking specifically about this year. I could be wrong but I don't see any player on our roster that fits the description, maybe Austin Johnson.
