The New England Patriots have until next Tuesday to get their team below the NFL’s 53-player threshold, but they have already started trimming their roster.
As was announced by head coach Mike Vrabel on Friday, the team has parted ways with 14 players.
Quarterback Ben Wooldridge, running backs Micah Bernard and Shane Watts, wide receiver Phil Lutz Jr., tight ends Jaheim Bell and Cole Fotheringham, offensive linemen Sidy Sow and Tyrese Robinson, defensive tackles Kyle Peko and Philip Blidi, linebackers Monty Rice and R.J. Moten and cornerbacks Jordon Polk and Isaiah Bolden have been let go. All of them were considered longshots to make the team.
