With training camp and the preseason in the rear-view mirror, the New England Patriots are on to building their first 53-man roster for the upcoming 2024 NFL season.
By 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Aug. 27, the Patriots and the league’s other 31 teams will have to trim as many as 37 players from their offseason squads — moving from a maximum of 90 to to more than 53. This means that hundreds of players are about to hit waivers and the open market over the next few hours and days.
There will not only be plenty of releases, but also a lot of other transactions ranging from trades, to waiver wire pickups, to free agent signings, to players being moved to injury lists.
