Ventrone will be off and back on the roster at least 3 times before cinco is gone -

I think we have seen the last of Ventrone. I think the new Rugby player takes his spot.
I think Brace might be gone too. -

You want to get rid of Sterling Moore? What's wrong with you? The guy is the reason we made it to the SB! -

Noone is saying that he doesn't deserve the accollades from his performance. He'll be given a shot. There's going to be a lot of competition....and it's a numbers game. Only so many can make the cut. -

Sterling Moore was our best DB at the last season.
It would be scandalous to get rid of him -

There's going to be some tough cuts, no doubt. That's the mark of a good football team. -

My early roster thoughts
Offense:
3. Quarterback - Tom Brady; Brian Hoyer; Ryan Mallett
3. Running Back - Stevan Ridley; Danny Woodhead; Shane Vereen
1 Fullback - Spencer Larson
6. Wide Receiver – Wes Welker; Brandon Lloyd; Donte,Stallworth; Deon Branch; Anthony Gonzalez; Ocho Cinco
3. Tight End: Rob Gronkowski; Aaron Hernandez, Daniel Fells
3. Offensive Tackle: Nate Solder; Sebastian Vollmer; Marcus Cannon
4. Offensive Guard: Logan Mankins; Brian Waters; Ryan Wendell; Robert Gallary
2. Offensive Center: Dan Connolly; Dan Koppen
Defense:
4. Defensive End - Brandon Deaderick; Jonathan Fanene; Chandler Jones, Jake Bequette
4. Defensive Tackle - Vince Wilfork; Kyle Love*; Myron Pryor; Gerard Warren
4. Outside Linebacker - Rob Ninkovich; Markell Carter; Trevor Scott, Andre Carter
4. Inside Linebacker - Jerod Mayo; Brandon Spikes; Dane Fletcher; Dont'a Hightower
5. Cornerback - Devin McCourty; Ras-I Dowling; Kyle Arrington; Sterling Moore; Alfonzo Dennard
4. Safety - Pat Chung; Steve Gregory; Matthew Slater, Tavon Wilson
3. Special Teams:
P: Zoltan Mesko
LS: Danny Aiken
25 players on offense + 28 players on defense and special teams = 53 players.
Julian Elderman and Tracy White are my two tough cuts.

Given the players that have been added, even though I think he will sort it out, if this guy falls on his face, he's probably gone early:
Jermaine Cunningham. -

Had to put him at Safety or WR but he is on the roster, he is our ST ace.

Why do you have Wes Welker on your roster? According to most here Wes is going to be traded. -

Posted by kenscreenOne disagreement: Edelman over Gonzalez; Edelman is an excellent punt returner and can play DB if needed (I hope not). Gonzalez can't seem to stay on the field due to injuries. -

3. Quarterback - Tom Brady; Brian Hoyer; Ryan Mallett

3. Special Teams:
K: Stephen Gostkowski
P: Zoltan Mesko
LS: Danny Aiken
Free Agent signings in blue
Rookies in Red
Projected Signings in Purple
I'm going to go with Marcus Forston as the annual UDFA to make the roster, cutting Markell Carter instead. I'll take the cheap rookie in Jeremy Ebert and the younger Edelman over Ocho, Stallworth, and Gonzalez, with Slater being moved from Safety to WR. At Safety, I added Mike Ebner, whose Special Teams ability reduces the need for Tracy White.
Starting Defense
DE: Bequette, Jones, DT: Deaderick, Wilfork OLB: Hightower, Mayo ILB: Spikes CB: McCourty, Arrington FS: Gregory SS: Chung

titletown, that's an excellent team.
Forston could be a force if healthy and motivated.
Let's hope Andre Carter is healthy enough to start the season (and signed, of course).
I would be tempted to add another OT in place of Hightower (RB).
Place Markus Zusevics on PUP.
Ebner will have a tough time making the roster, as he's extremely raw as a DB, and basically plays the same role as Slater. Practice squad, most likely, I think.
In his place, I would add the best of Eddleman,Ocho, Gonzo, Stallworth.
