2020 Patriots 53-man Roster Projection 2.0, Opt-Outs Change Outlook

With training camp somewhat underway…the team has suffered eight players deciding to opt-out of the 2020 season. That combined with the team releasing nine players but bringing two back makes for some big changes in what our initial roster projection looked like.

Dont’a Hightower, Marcus Cannon, Pat Chung, Danny Vitale were all expected to be starters or play a big role in the team in 2020. Brandon Bolden is a core special teams’ ace while Matt LaCosse was expected (here) to make the roster at tight end.

So, with all that in mind, it seems like a good time to take a second look at creating a 53-man roster.
