Week three of the NFL preseason has concluded for the New England Patriots, as they were defeated by the Carolina Panthers 25-14 in a game where very little seemed to work for New England. The defense seems to still have difficulty knocking off the rust, and the offense could not get anything accomplished, even when Tom Brady was on the field. With cut down day right around the corner, the Patriots will have to turn a 90-man roster into 53 players, with just ten being eligible for the practice squad. Here is how Bill Belichick and company will decide who makes the cut to the 2018-19 New England Patriots.
