Out of all these players Julio Jones has had the most impact on the current team.

The Patriots traded for Michael Williams today. Saw one reporter say they tried to sign him off the Lions' practice squad last year. For those that don't know, MW has made the transition to OT since being in the NFL.

Leon Brown, Nico Johnson and Javius Arenas was cut today.

He was a glorified OT at Alabama (and a very good one).

I know it was stated in other thread, but Kevin Norwood was traded to panthers. He should get signifcant playing time there.

I can't believe how much of a bust TR has been so far. It's so sad

Speaking of TR, do we know his fate with the Raiders yet? I fully expect him to get his walking papers. Like you said, very sad.

He was cut, hence my post. I assumed we were already talking about it or I would have prefaced it. I just don't understand what his problem is.

Then New England used him at TE in the last pre-season game.

Hard to believe that at age 25, given his production at Alabama, he has washed out already. Geez...

Richardson will get one more chance. Don't know where. But someone will try him out.

I agree. He'll get another shot, but he has to make a splash at this point. Also, he cannot afford to do anything stupid like fail a drug test, get in trouble with the law, etc.

Goes along with this 247 article about him. Link

He would not play in a regular-season game for Detroit last season, yet he would play 56 snaps as a right tackle and 34 snaps as a left tackle through the club’s first two preseason games of 2015, according to Pro Football Focus.

Now, he looks to be a third tackle on the field for New England.

The Patriots have memorably called upon offensive linemen as jumbo tight ends before. And this preseason, it was Jordan Devey and Cameron Fleming who were asked to report as eligible to fill out the running game through two games.

But Williams, now wearing No. 85 after first donning a No. 74 in practice this past week, doesn’t have to report now that he’s in a receiver’s digits. That was clear as the Patriots’ offense started with a two-tight end set featuring Williams and Hoomanawanui versus Carolina.

Get the feeling Belichick is going to have some fun with MW.

I think Trent will get one more shot if he gets himself in really good shape and shows he is totally focused on the game.

JustNeedMe81 · Sep 1, 2015

He is in shape. His weight issue had nothing to do with it, I believe. I'm not sure what to make of his getting cut. I think he gets one more chance.. *look to patriot* who knows?

Robert Lester was cut by Carolina Panthers.

DzynKingRTR · Sep 1, 2015

the Falcons keep having injuries at RB so maybe Trent will get a call? of course he would still have bad Oline issues here. Matt Ryan is always running for his life.

Vinny Sunseri was waived with an injury designation today.

Snuffy Smith · Sep 1, 2015

Packers released Hubbard today. I thought he had a chance to make it this year. Last year they picked him up on the practice squad so we'll see.
