Roster look

Hey all --

This was our first time taking a stab at the 53-man, and we gotta say, we're pretty proud. Had a feeling Corey Mays and Garrett Mills were gone, and letting Vinny Testaverde go (for now, at least) in favor of Matt Gutierrez makes a lot of sense (not that Bill and Scott care what we think).

Anyway, here's what your New England Patriots' roster looks like at this moment:

QUARTERBACKS: Tom Brady, Matt Cassel, Matt Gutierrez. Fact that may only interest me (thanks, Peter!): all three are from Northern California.

RUNNING BACKS: Laurence Maroney, Kevin Faulk, Sammy Morris, Heath Evans

WIDE RECEIVERS: Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney, Kelley Washington. Troy Brown and Chad Jackson are on PUP.

TIGHT ENDS: Benjamin Watson, Kyle Brady, David Thomas

OFFENSIVE LINE: Matt Light, Stephen Neal, Dan Koppen, Logan Mankins, Nick Kaczur, Ryan O'Callaghan, Russ Hochstein, Billy Yates, Wesley Britt

DEFENSIVE LINE: Ty Warren, Vince Wilfork, Jarvis Green, Mike Wright, Le Kevin Smith, Kareem Brown. Richard Seymour is on the PUP.

LINEBACKERS: Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, Adalius Thomas, Rosevelt Colvin, Junior Seau, Pierre Woods, Eric Alexander, Larry Izzo.

DEFENSIVE BACKS: Rodney Harrison, Eugene Wilson, James Sanders, Asante Samuel, Ellis Hobbs, Brandon Meriweather, Randall Gay, Mel Mitchell, Willie Andrews, Tory James, Rashad Baker. Eddie Jackson is on the PUP. Harrison is serving a four-game suspension.

SPECIALISTS: Stephen Gostkowski (placekicker), Chris Hanson (punter), Lonie Paxton (long snapper).

Finally the Patriots have released their transactions for the day, and quarterback/sage Vinny Testaverde and linebacker Chad Brown are among the biggest names to get released.

No word yet

Hey all --

Just wanted to let you know that we are waiting word on the Patriots' cuts almost as impatiently as you probably are. The deadline passed more than a half hour ago and we haven't gotten the email yet...
