It is roster cut down weekend, and the New England Patriots are already making some moves. Wide receiver Jeff Thomas will not make the initial 53-man roster. He was waived ahead of Saturday’s roster cut down deadline.
Thomas was an interesting undrafted free agent signing when initially brought in. There was thought that he could maybe provide depth to the receiver position. While playing for the University of Miami, Thomas was an explosive, speedy receiver. He caught 83 passes for 1,316 yards and eight touchdowns.
New England already cut a wide receiver this week, with Mohamed Sanu no longer in the fold. As of Saturday, they have 76 players on their roster.
The Patriots currently have Jakobi Meyers, Gunner Olszewski, Damiere Byrd, and Devin Ross all vying for the final spot on the depth chart. N’Keal Harry and Julian Edelman will lead a unit that is lacking the experience at the moment. It will be interesting to see what New England’s next move is. As Bill Belichick has shown us, it always seems like he has something up his sleeve.
