One day after ending their 2015 preseason, the New England Patriots began trimming their roster because by tomorrow 4:00 p.m. ET the team has to be under the regular season roster limit of 53. To get there, the Patriots made 12 transactions today:
Signed
Released
DT A.J. Pataiali'i
The moves put the Patriots' roster at 66. Therefore, the team has to make 13 more transactions to get under the limit. One of those transactions will be placing running back LeGarrette Blount, who is suspended for the first game of the season, on the exempt/suspended list.
