As we get near the free agency period, it's clear to see that there is little guaranteed money in the NFL. Players are being dumped all around the league because teams don't want to pay them their bonus money after the start of the new league year. Cutting a player now avoids that, although there can be salary cap implications. The Jets are dealing with Mark Sanchez in that light.
The Pats structure their contracts in such a way as to avoid this. Other teams will be dropping veterans. The Giants have cleaned house. The Jets are backed up and must make some moves to get cap space. The Ravens are faced with what to do with Ed Reed. The Pats need to deal with Wes Welker and Sebastian Vollmer.
In the end, you can't keep everyone. All teams deal with it. The Pats roster will probably shift about 10-12 players.
