NE cuts Walters

Didnt see it anywhere... so much they thought he would be better than Gutti

Someone pointed out that if you wait until the first week is over then the contract isn't guaranteed. So they might keep Huard on the short-call list, but I doubt they sign him and use a roster spot. They seem comfortable with Hoyer, and they also have Edelman on the team (well, we THINK he's making the team).

I can imagine Belichick with two phones in his hands, one with McDaniels and one with Pioli. "Scott! Scott! Josh says he'll give me a sixth for Watson. Josh? Scott just offered a fifth. Scott? Josh just offered a fifth, and a fifth of booze... wait, he just upped it with a reach-around..."

Andrew Walters would look great with Branden Alberts getting his blindside and Kendall Gammons longsnapping.

What are you hearing about Ben Watson? Do you think he'll be released?

Yates is very strong physically, but he is weak in pass protection and nowhere near as good a run blocker as you'd expect.

I don't expect Watson to be released or traded. A lot of Patriots fans are quick to pummel players who don't live up to whatever mythical standards they have for them, whether or not they happen to be good players. The coaching staff doesn't listen to the cry of the miserable, however. Cassel is a perfect example of it, as a matter of fact.

Watson's not the best tight end in the game, but he's pretty good and he's a very difficult matchup for the opposition because of his speed. The tight end that's most likely to become available is Alex Smith.

I dunno, they thought highly of Daniel Graham and shipped him to Denver quick enough. And Cassel was always the #2 QB, despite the fans' confusion as to why; Watson, on the other hand, has watched Belcihick bring in Baker and Smith--both of whom were given every attempt to take Watson's job, and Baker apparently did.

Smith will probably go for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if Watson did as well. They may give him one more season to prove himself, they may not. We'll know by tomorrow afternoon. I wouldn't cry a river if they sent him to you guys.
