Pats roster moves
The Patriots made a few roster moves today, cutting veteran LB T.J. Slaughter and waiving CB Tim Mixon.
Both were longer shots to make the roster, and the moves are likely a result of the Patriots targeting those positions with draft picks over the weekend.
Slaughter, who initially entered the NFL in 2000, was attempting to return to the league after sitting out last season. Mixon, 23, spent most of last season on the Patriots' practice squad.
Mike, who do you see making the 53-man roster at linebacker? I'd think Thomas, Bruschi, Hobson, Vrabel, Mayo and Crable are locks, with Izzo a near-lock, given his special-teams value. But who takes the last couple slots? Woods? Seau, if he returns? Ruud and Guyton will have trouble making anything more than the taxi squad with us this year, I think. What's your take?
on a completely unrelated note, i heard bob lobel is all done at ch4. i live in sofla now so i just got the news. bob was the man. not only did you enjoy watching him but if you ever got the chance to meet him you know he was a cool down to earth dude. i had a few drinks and talked music and sports with him 5 years ago backstage at wbcn riverrage
