Live from Patriots cut-down day: Will the Pats undrafted free agent streak continue?

FOXBORO – NFL cut-down day is here.

Tuesday marks the busiest time of the year as NFL teams will whittle their roster down from 80-to-53 players. In total, the league will see 864 players released. The wholesale roster movement is a time where dreams are both made and dashed.

It’s not unusual to see players you didn’t expect to make the team, landing on the Patriots initial 53-man roster. This year’s squad has included a highly competitive undrafted free agent class, which Bill Belichick said was competitive this offseason than years past.
