Last November, there were 99 former New England Patriots residing around the NFL between 53-man rosters, practice squads and reserve lists.
The leader in league’s clubhouse then was the Indianapolis Colts, who by Week 12, had 11 players with previous stints in Foxborough.
With Kamar Aiken, Jon Bostic, Jacoby Brissett, Darius Butler, Rashaan Melvin, Barkevious Mingo, Jabaal Sheard, Adam Vinatieri, Kenny Moore all active, plus Anthony Johnson on the scout team and George Winn on IR for the Colts at the time, it wasn’t much of a contest. The New York Giants were next up with eight ex-Patriots, followed by the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers with seven apiece.
