No big surprises here

 

How is Vollmer doing? Will he make the team?

 

Yeah Vollmer will definately make the final roster...no question about it

 

So the Patriots are only carrying one backup...who is an undrafted rookie? Bit of a risk to say the least...

 

I'm sure someone else will be in the mix. There's a rumor out there that Al Davis may cut Jeff Garcia, that would be ideal, but one way or another I'm sure there will be another QB. Technically there is a 3rd QB on the roster, but it's a rookie drafted in the 7th round who will be returning punts and playing some WR in Julian Edelman. Someone will be added though

 

Yea, cutting Walter and O'Connell doesnt seem like great decisions

 

BB typically doesn't make bad decisions typically when it comes to the roster. I'm sure he knows what he's doing

 

maybe they'll trade for feeley, I might make a thread about it.

 

There's a potential trade for Feeley out there??...huh...weird...I hadn't heard

 

I know, can you believe, you would think there would be 7 or 8 or 9 threads about it already lol
