With the New England Patriots’ preseason slate in the books after a 23-6 defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday night, attention now turns to the final roster cutdown deadline on Tuesday afternoon. Only 53 of the current 80 players will be able to make the opening-day squad.
So, who will it be? Based on several training camp practices and three exhibition contests, here is our best-guess estimation.
Quarterback
Roster (3): Mac Jones, Brian Hoyer, Bailey Zappe
Unsurprisingly, Mac Jones is once again your starter with wise veteran Brian Hoyer serving as his mentor and top backup.
