On Saturday, the NFL’s 32 teams will trim their rosters from the current 90-man maximum down to the regular season threshold of 53 (plus an additional 10 players on the practice squad). This means that almost 1,200 players will lose their jobs and hit the free agency market in a rather short period of time. Needless to say that personnel departments around the league will have their work cut out for them these next few days.
The New England Patriots’ is no exception, and head coach Bill Belichick projected its workload during his press conference today.
