In a surprising move, the Patriots cut 3 players today, 24 hours prior to the deadline to trim to 73 players. The players, Rohan Davey QB, Cedric Cobbs RB, and Dexter Reid S, were cut early to try to find a chance to play somewhere else. They could have easily found suitors to trade Davey especially, but didn't want to dictate to him where he'd have to play. Belichick stated that he'd like Davey to go somewhere that is a fit for him, and that Davey will be a player in this league.
Cobbs and Reid were second year players both drafted in the 4th round last year. Reid was just outplayed by the other Safeties and Cobbs just couldn't get on the field to be evaluated.
The remaining cuts will be announced by 4pm tomorrow, but don't expect more 'name' players until the roster gets trimmed to 64.
For the first time since training camp began, Tedy Bruschi made an appearance at Gillette Stadium today. He worked in the weight room before visiting the locker room to say hello to his friends on the team and in the media.
