The New England Patriots will have some pressing decisions to make before next season.
With the beginning of NFL training camps sitting right around the corner, some big roster changes are bound to take place as teams start to slim down their rosters from a set of 90 players to a final set of 53. Thewill inevitably have some tough decisions to make on who makes the cut and who doesn't.
"After a bumpy first season in New England, Smith-Schuster potentially finds himself on the outside looking in for this Patriots roster just one year later. By drafting two receivers in Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, getting Kendrick Bourne back to full health, having second-year wideout Pop Douglas, and signing free agent K.J. Osborn, it may be a steep climb for Smith-Schuster to make the roster.
That's a loaded group, and with other guys like 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thorton and offseason signee K.J. Osborn clawing for more snaps as well, the room for Smith-Schuster in the offense dwindles. If cut, the Patriots would incur around $9 million in dead money, while a trade would give them $5 million in cap savings, per. New England has a lot of open cash on hand as is, but every dollar counts. Even if a late-day three pick is the return, it could not only free up some cap but also some playing time for this young receiving core.
