Obviously not all of these players will be released at 4pm (new draft picks and Mankins will sign new contracts), but still, this is worth looking over.

If I edit this to say, "The Ravens could use some of these players if they do get cut", can you guys move it back to the Ravens Talk section? This wasn't really intended to be about another team.

I'd love to see the Ravens make a move for Crumpler. He's one of the best blocking TEs in the game.

Why is Mankins on that list?

[font="Verdana"][size="2"]I don't see them getting rid of RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis ("Law Firm"). He played very well last year.

229 carries
1,008 yards
4.4 yards/carry
13 TDs[/size][/font]

I don't particularly see them letting him go, but I don't see his statistics taking a huge dip. The Patriots never have a consistent running back situation from year to year. It was also obvious that the Pats weren't completely satisfied with Green-Ellis when they picked up Vreen and Ridley. And there's still Woodhead back there too.

I like CB Ras I Dowling. It'll be interesting to see who all gets cut tomorrow.

They did draft some young guys. And the patriots have never been one to invest heavily into their run game. So his numbers last year might warrant a higher contract, which the Patriots might want to move on from.

I expect him to be back, but it wouldn't surprise me to see him gone.

They just drafted him, lol. He won't be cut. This is just a list of players that haven't practiced yet, some of them are rookies who haven't practiced because they haven't signed their contracts. There are several players on here who aren't there but are under contract, though. We'll find out their fates at 4pm, probably.

See above reply also; this is just a list of people who didn't come in for practice today. Mankins has a new deal but can't practice until Aug. 4th (new FA rules), from what I understand.

I was just saying that I like him as a talent...

My bad. I thought you were implying differently.

[T3hRaven]

If Crumpler is cut he's really the only one worth taking a look at in my book.

[uhhhh]

I don't know if you guys remember the 2007 draft that the partiots had, but they cut all the players before the season started exept for Brandon Merriweather. So lets see what they will do this year.
