The #Patriots have released Cam Newton, source said.
WOW
I could see Cam going to Dallas to back up Dak.

Ron has had the chance to sign him the last two years and didn't, hopefully a good omen. Besides he isn't going to sign anywhere where he is the third string QB, may not be much use as a second string to be honest.
[Edit] Wonder if he asked for his release when it became clear that Mac Jones was the day 1 starter

I wonder if RR is waiting for Zach Ertz to be released. I wouldn’t be surprised. And Jordan Hicks too.

I don't know man.
At this point it definitely looks good for Milne and Forrest.
Maybe they keep 4 TEs?, an extra O-lineman (Ismael), D-line (Bada)...? Probably one of these three...
Milne, Forrest definitely likely.
4 TEs? I'm not even sure I know the name of 4 TEs on this team. Well technically I do but have no idea how good Ricky Seal Jones is.
Keeping Ismael would indeed make sense, may still turn into a quality back up center.
I don't know about Bada, we keep saying his name because he flashed in the third pre-season game, but one thing we're learning tonight is pre-season doesn't teach us a lot. Coaches make decision based on what they see in camp more than those games, unless there's a huge surprise of a guy rising/collapsing to game-like pressure. So don't know if his pre-season sack is enough to earn him a spot, while we have an extra "international" practice squad spot waiting for him...

Per source: TE Sammis Reyes and CB Troy Apke will be on Washington's 53-man roster.

Big question will be are any of the surprise cuts among the 8 unvaccinated players.

With Jimmy Moreland and Wes Martin getting cut today, only 11 Washington draft picks from 2015-19 are still on the roster:

Ron still clearing out guys from the old regime, though I think it says more about the drafting ability of the old regime more than anything.

Would be interesting to compare with other teams, those are all very good to elite players.

I think the tie breakers definitely go to the latest draft picks due to cost and control.
