News coming in today that the Patriots have waived WR Will Hastings. Hardly a surprise in all fairness, Hastings has struggled to remain on the practice field following a number of absences during camp, he’s now been cut for a second time, which will probably be for good.
I wrote in yesterday’s Tweets of Note that hopes of rekindling the “Auburn connection” between him and QB Jarrett Stidham were all but over, now confirmed.
This move will drop the current roster number to 79, and following a number of WR tryouts on Wednesday, I’d expect to see a new face added over the weekend.
FA WR’s at tryouts – Andre Baccellia (University of Washington/Chiefs), Greg Dortch (Wake Forest/Jets-Panthers-Rams), Tony Gaiter (Florida International) and Matthew Sexton (Eastern Michigan)
Current WR depth – Julian Edelman, N’Keal Harry, Mohamed Sanu Sr., Damiere Byrd, Devin Ross, Jeff Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Zuber
