Don't Go On Twitter Yet

Some analyst made a good point when he said that players should not be going on their Twitter accounts to announce that they made their team. Nobody is safe until next Saturday. At that point, vested players with four or more seasons will be guaranteed their 2012 salary if they are on the 53 man roster or Injured reserve. Until then, anything can happen.

We saw that yesterday with the release of LB Bobby Carpenter. This was less than 24 hours from when players thought they were safe and on the roster.

Coach Belichick will continue to tweak the roster by adding a few players at the expense of others. He has often stated that most teams have a pretty solid 45 player game day roster. The other eight spots provide flexibility for player development, depth and injury.

Players will be added and dropped from every team throughout the season. There will always be surprises.
