New England Patriots 53-man roster outlook 2019: Mid-August predictions
By Matt Fiore
Rest of the secondary and specialists
Safety– Devin McCourty, Pat Chung, Duron Harmon, Terrence Brooks, Obi Melifonwu (5)
Nate Ebner‘s tenure as a Patriot will soon be over.
The defending Super Bowl champions brought in special teams ace Terrence Brooks over from the Jets, and can cover when called upon. Melifonwu has had a strong camp, tying with Jackson for most INT’s. This mixed with his athleticism and size will force him into the roster.
Specialists– K Stephen Gostkowski, P Jake Bailey, LS Joe Cardona, G Matthew Slater (4)
The New England Patriots spent a 5th round pick on a right-legged punter… this must really mean this guy belongs on an NFL roster. Ryan Allen, after a masterful Super Bowl 53, is cut.
With Week 1 of the regular season fast approaching, another updated 53 man roster will be released right before cut day.
