Predicting 24 Patriots who will be cut before Tuesday’s deadline

In less than 24 hours, the New England Patriots will make a slew of player cuts to decide their 53-man roster heading into the 2023 season.

There’s always a surprise thrown in somewhere when it comes to coach Bill Belichick and roster cuts, and part of the fun is trying to figure out what that will be.

Will the Patriots keep rookie quarterback Malik Cunningham on the roster? Is the kicking competition between Nick Folk and rookie Chad Ryland so tight that they’d actually consider carrying both kickers?

There are so many questions facing the team ahead of Tuesday. The Patriots are 24 roster cuts away from being within compliance of the 53-man deadline, which is slated for 4 p.m. ET.

Here are 24 players that probably won’t be on the roster by the deadline.
