Roster Games

Teams around the NFL are down to their 53 man roster, with the practice squad still to be decided. There are always many surprises.

Some veteran players are released with the understanding that they will be resigned by their team.

WR Demaryius Thomas is a great example. After his initial release, he can be signed for cheaper money. It happens all around the league.

For the Pats, this initial 53 will not be the same for Week One.
