Foster and Devin Lucien could easily make another team’s roster and would be with New England in 2017 if not for the surplus of talent on offense. Flowers could be called up at some point during the season if injuries dwindle the Patriots special teams group.

Kenny Moore stood out throughout the summer and could make the team next season with a year of development under his belt. 2017 sixth-round draft pick Conor McDermott will also need a year of development on the practice squad before his duties are called upon.
