With training camp and preseason football now in the rearview, the New England Patriots have started the arduous task of cutting their roster down to 53 players.
Building a main roster breaks and makes dreams. As exciting as it is to see unexpected newcomers earn a spot, it's equally disappointing to see others get released. It's a strong reminder of the business side of football, and the Patriots' coaching staff will have its work cut out whittling down the massive roster to 53 players.
The entire summer of football has come down to this moment.
Who will be the surprise cuts for the Patriots? Will any unexpected names end up making the team who were initially considered long-shot candidates?
We'll be tracking all of the latest roster moves by the Patriots ahead of the 53-man roster cut deadline.
