Patriots traded RB Strong to the Browns for OT Tyrone Wheatley.
Could mean that the popular JJ Taylor makes the team.

Wheatley, although a project, was playing well enough in preseason to indicate that he can most likely help an OT needy team like the Patriots:

Robert's brings the same skill set ant is only in his 2nd year, more up slide, cheaper.

Sam Roberts? I agree that he has more upside and is cheaper, but is a wildly different player. You see Roberts as a potential zero/NT run stopper?

I understand Lazar's comment that Wheatley is a work in progress in Pass Pro, but come on...which is better: Wheatley or andrew Steuber & Pierre Strong????

"The Patriots had selected Strong in the fourth round of the 2022 draft out of South Dakota State. He played sparingly on offense last season, totaling 10 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown, and seven receptions for 42 yards."

Fvcking Patricia. Who else would have a guy available who got 100 yards on the carries and then refuse to let him carry the ball an 11th time?

I'm assuming that by using assets (Pierre Strong, 6th round 2024 pick) they didn't acquire these two OTs on Aug 27 just to cut them Aug 29.

I'm trying to find guys to cut to make room for two new offensive players. My overall roster was already skewed toward the offense, so I'm trying not to find defensive guys to to cut. I mean I now have 10 OLinesmen and 6 WRs not inlcuding Slater whom I always put as one of 6 STers. (this year P,PK, LS, Slater, Schooler, and one of Board or Munson).

We're all going to have our heartache/angst on cutdown day.
 
I'm proud of the Patriots for trading for a couple of offensive linemen. I'm not sure how good these linemen are, and I'm not sure which Patriot's administrator made those trades, but good for them. The team is trying!

I agree. Trading this late for Oline is not a good sign IMO on how Bill/BoB feel about the line heading into the season. I am surprised they traded now and did not wait for all the cuts tomorrow to see if they could sign another's team cut.

That's exactly why they didn't wait. When there's something you really need, you don't targeted a "while supplies last" sale on black Friday and hope to get one.

Waiting to August 27 is targeting a black Friday sale and hoping to get one.

No. This is normal cut down stuff across the league. Shit, Dallas gave SF a 4th for the single most expensive quasi division two untested quarterback ever.😅

Dallas trading for Lance was absurd.
