The New England Patriots cut 20 players Saturday, trimming their roster to the NFL-mandated 53 players. Here’s a closer look at the final cuts:
Most significant move: Trimming to just four receivers with the releases of Aaron Dobson and Keshawn Martin. While not a surprise (this was forecast in a final roster projection), it’s still notable because it closes the book on Dobson’s disappointing run with the team after he was a second-round selection in the 2013 draft. It also sparks the question if there is another roster move to come at the position, as rookie receiver Malcolm Mitchell (elbow) and Danny Amendola (active/PUP during preseason) have health situations of note.
