The Patriots have signed former Eagles and Vikings receiver Jalen Reagor to their practice squad. The 2020 first round pick famously went one pick before Justin Jefferson. A speedster from TCU, Reagor was supposed to be a guy who can take the top off of defenses and make big plays but he never materialized into that type of player. Instead, he has been a depth receiver and kick returner thus…

We break down the Patriots roster and share our thoughts on each position. Who made the roster and why? Carrying 11 offensive lineman has to be some kind of an NFL record. It speaks to the current state of affairs with this unit. Otherwise, there were no real surprises with who got cut and who made the roster.
