The Pats needed to release 17 players to get to the mandated 53 man roster. They went above and beyond by releasing 22 and placing Brandon MaGowan on season ending Injured Reserve.
Several of the players should be back on the practice squad, assuming they are not claimed by another team. Overall, there were 704 players released around the league.
Apparently, Derrick Burgees is done with the team after costing them a third and fifth round draft pick when they traded for him prior to last season. He never lived up to their expectations.
With the emergence of the young linebackers, it sealed the fate of Special Teams player Eric Alexander. I was surprised to see them release Pierre Woods.
By releasing extra players, the Pats are able to sign several players released by other teams. A lot of dust still needs to settle before the roster takes its final look.
