Patriots 53-man roster projection: Who will survive cutdown weekend? Who will be let go?

Following a series of releases on Thursday, the New England Patriots currently have 77 players on their active roster. That number will change quickly, however, considering that the team will have to be under the league-mandated 53-man threshold by Saturday, 4 pm ET. This means that 24 more players will have to be released over the next 33 hours — not accounting for any additional space that might need to be made for potential waiver wire claims.

With that being said, let’s dive straight into our 53-man roster projection.

As you will see, the roster is light at some positions simply based to the talent available at the moment.
