Patriots release 16 players in second wave of massive roster cuts

After releasing 14 players on Monday, the New England Patriots continued their roster purge ahead of the 53-man roster deadline on Tuesday.

On the final roster cut day, the team revealed they had released 16 players.

There were a couple of surprise names on the list, including running back Kevin Harris and cornerback Shaun Wade.

Harris was believed to be a lock by many as the No. 3 running back on the roster behind Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. However, he ended up getting beat out by veteran JaMycal Hasty.
