17:28- Patriots confirm the full list of the 24 players that were released today. The final 3 – WR Isaiah Zuber, DT Xavier Williams and DL Tashawn Bower.
17:24- Another UDFA released, RB J.J. Taylor will be a good PS addition if he clears waivers.
17:02- 4 more cuts to go.
16:58- The team could bring Folk back after some movement, which could be the real reason, or, they could be starting fresh at the position.
16:55- Erm ok, K Nick Folk has also been released, the team has no current kicker.
16:53- UDFA LB/TE Rashod Berry is being released.

15:58- UDFA TE Jake Burt is the next to be released, 7 cuts to go.
15:52- Less than 10 minutes to go now until the cut deadline, wouldn’t be surprised if the team confirm some of the remaining cuts via an official announcement.
15:45- The first real shock today in my opinion, the Patriots are releasing sixth-round draft choice LB Cassh Maluia.
15:15- Was always going to be tough for Bryant to break into that deep CB group, fingers crossed he clears waivers, will be a great opportunity for him to develop further with the team.
15:07- Pats also releasing CB D’Angelo Ross. 9 cuts remain.
15:05- Doug Kyed reports that the Patriots have waived LB Scoota Harris and UDFA CB Myles Bryant. 10 to go.

12:48- A former Pats draftee on the move again.
12:27- Remaining WR’s on the Patriots roster- Julian Edelman, N’Keal Harry, Gunner Olszewski, Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers, Isaiah Zuber.

LB Terez Hall
DT Bill Murray
12:06- Patriots are releasing DT Bill Murray.
12:05- Cap check-in!
11:51- LB Terez Hall is also being released. 16 to go.
11:50- I went back and forth whether or not to include Miller in my final roster projection on Thursday. I finally talked myself into keeping him on the team given the injury news regarding Damien Harris, but ultimately, there wasn’t enough time for Miller to get acclimatized.
11:45- First announced by Adam Schefter, the Pats have released RB Lamar Miller.
11:13- Elsewhere in the league, a QB with some experience was just released in Tennessee.
11:09- It’s been an hour since the last reported roster cut, the Patriots still have 18 players to release.
10:30- For anyone thinking Texans QB Deshaun Watson was going to be a Patriot one day, you’ll need to wait a few more years at least.
10:21- The six releases so far…
WR Jeff Thomas
OL Ben Braden
QB Brian Lewerke
TE Paul Butler
WR Andre Baccellia
OL Tyler Gauthier
10:11- Some important info to remember.
10:09- Jeff Howe reports that the team has waived WR Andre Baccellia and OL Tyler Gauthier. 18 left.
10:00- The first hour has seen four reported cuts, no real surprises, I did have Jeff Thomas sticking around, but the team was willing to let him hit the wire and could bring him back.
09:47- In non-Patriots news, Jadeveon Clowney just fired his agent. Again.
09:34- 20 to go, TE Paul Butler who joined during camp is the next player to be released.
09:33- 21 to go, UDFA QB Brian Lewerke has been waived by the Patriots, may return as an emergency backup on the PS.
09:25- 22 players left to cut.
09:22- Next to go is OL Ben Braden, not much surprise here as he didn’t do much through-out training camp and was always a long shot.
09:17- Here’s the first cut of the day, WR Jeff Thomas has been released.
09:06- It’s safe to say that the 53-man roster at the end of the day will change again in the coming days, remember, the team will need to fill it’s 16 slot practice squad, and also designate players to IR, if applicable.
09:00- By 4 pm EST, the Patriots will have trimmed down their roster from 77 to 53, stay tuned for all of today’s breaking news right here.
