With the preseason now in the rearview mirror, the Patriots face the difficult task of cutting their current 90-man roster to just 53 players to carry into the 2026 season, which is much different from years past.
In prior years, teams had to make multiple cuts before assembling their season roster, but now they'll have to make 37 decisions at once, with Sunday, August 30 as the deadline.
The Patriots are in a unique situation: they aren't the deepest team at most positions, as Mike Vrabel even candidly said, so who they keep and who they release might not be as easy as they would like.
There have been plenty of roster battles to watch this summer, and those bubble players needed to take advantage of them; now Vrabel and Co. will have to decide who is good enough to stick around and who might be good enough to keep on the practice squad moving forward.
