A Few Surprises for Patriots Roster Cuts

September 1st, 2008 · No Comments

John Lynch and Chad Jackson were both cut yesterday from the Patriots 53-man roster.  It sounds like its a possibility that John Lynch may end up in a Patriots uniform - Coach Belichick said he would not rule anything out in the future as far as bringing Lynch back.  As far as Lynch was concerned he also sounded open to the idea. 

For me cutting Chad Jackson was a big surpise - all the hype surrounding Jackson last year and the excitement of having him learn from Randy Moss.  I thought he was going to be here for a while.

I was also surprised to see the Pats didn’t cut any quarterbacks - keeping 4 on the 53-man roster could be taking valuable depth from another position.  We’ll have to wait and see what the waiver claims bring.
