2024/2025 Patriots Roster Transaction Thread

[DaBruinz]

So, I am starting the 2024/2025 Roster Transaction thread because there have been a few transactions that affect this roster. I'm linking the 2023/2024 Roster Transaction thread.

NOTE: The 2023 IR rules allowed for 8 players to return from IR after missing 4 games. I will update if this changes.
EDIT: for the 2024/2025 season, the NFL is allowing for 2 players who are put on IR during TC to now return during the season.

The Practice Squad is now 16 Players.

Tracking the 2024/2025 Patriots Roster Moves:



2024 Draft:
1 - 3: QB Drake Maye
2 - 37: WR Ja'Lynn Polk (From Chargers)
3 - 68: OT - Caeden Wallece
4 - 103:
4 - 110: (from Chargers)
6 - 180
6 - 193 (From Jaguars)
7 - 231 (from Chicago)

Pats trade 34, 137 to LAC for 37 and 110.
Other picks owned by the Patriots:
Las Vegas 2024 6th round pick - Traded to Min
Patriots 2025 6th round pick - traded to San Diego
Jaguars 2024 - 6th round pick - acquired for Mac Jones
Chicago 2024 - 7th round pick
Tennessee 2025 - 7th round pick
San Diego 2025 7th round pick

Comp Picks: Smith- Schuster, Reiff, Anderson, Gesicki and Robinson are likely to count in the Comp Pick formula against the Patriots. Chris Board and McSorley will likely NOT count against the Patriots. Meyers and Agholor, will count for the Patriots. Harris and Williams will not count due to their salaries being too low (according to OverthCap.com) Isaiah Wynn will NOT count for Patriots because he was signed AFTER the Draft.

Comp Picks: Smith- Schuster, Reiff, Anderson, Gesicki and Robinson are likely to count in the Comp Pick formula against the Patriots. McSorley will likely NOT count against the Patriots. Meyers and possibly Agholor, Harris and Williams will count for the Patriots. Isaiah Wynn will NOT count for Patriots because he was signed AFTER the Draft.

According to Overthecap.com they lost Meyers and Agholor, and gained JJSS, Gesicki, Reiff, and Anderson. The remaining players do not count because either their salaries aren't high enough (they have to be in the top 35%) or were signed too late to qualify.

JJSD, Reif and Anderson probably won't count based on playing time unless salary trumps that. Idk

Harris and Williams were both signed prior to the draft. They would count if their salaries were high enough.. I believe that Harris' was but Williams' wasn't.

Also, I hadn't updated that part since I wrote it last May.. But I also believe this isn't the thread for that discussion.. Yes, Comp picks should be a separate thread.

Compensatory picks and why NE won't get any in 2024

I'm posting this here so as not to derail the transactions thread. Just a quick reminder: the most recent CBA revamped the compensatory pick system. Basically, to qualify for a compensatory pick, a player: * Must be signed by their new team by the Monday after the draft; * Must have reached...

1/23:
Patriots sign G - Michael Jordan to a Future's Deal (wonder if he'll convert to TE)...

Michael Jordan, no f*cking way. That’s unbelievable. This is going to be incredible.

DaBruinz, nice job putting together this thread. Lots of work, nicely done.

 

[DaBruinz]

With the Pats problems at WR, bringing back Slater is a must at any cost.

Wrong thread for that.
