4 Veterans Who May Be Cut By The Patriots :Pats Pub
Good take on these four from Steve. Right now I’ve got all four of them making it, though I think Fells is the most on the edge.
Cunningham still appeals to me more than Bequette and Buchanan, even if Buchanan will likely be the better player down the road. I don’t think Cunningham will earn a new contract from the Pats, but I think they need him this year for depth at multiple spots (DE, interior rusher, even OLB).
I still think either Hooman or Fells make it as insurance for Ballard until Gronk comes back. I consider Sudfeld more in the Hernandez role, and his playing time will be likely closer tied to Dobson/Edelman/Boyce.
I think Adrian Wilson makes it, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he didn’t. It just comes down to value and it looks like he could be effective in a sub linebacker role. Tavon Wilson might not be as savvy for that spot, but he certainly runs better at this point. So we’ll see.
Finally I think Leon Washington makes it, no question. He’s the best kick returned on the roster and the only reasonable pass-catching backup to Shane Vereen.
