2008 Patriots Practice Squad

Patriots Sign Six to Practice Squad

With cut time rapidly approaching, the New England Patriots front-office staff will begin to determine who their targets are for the Practice Squad -- players must clear waivers before being placed on the squad. The eligibilty requirements are a bit convoluted, but with some great work by patchick at patsfans.com, here are the rules:

  • Player must not have an accrued season (or were inactive seven or more times during the accrued season)
  • Player must not have been on a practice squad for more than three years
  • During third year on practice squad, player must be added to 53-man squad if a spot opens up
By these criteria, the following Patriots, in addition to all of our rookies, would be eligible for the practice squad--provided that another team doesn't place a waiver claim.


  • OL -- Jimmy Martin
  • DB -- Antwain Spann
  • S/WR -- Raymond Ventrone
  • OL -- Dan Connolly
  • CB -- Mike Richardson
  • QB -- Matt Gutierrez
  • DT -- Titus Adams
  • CB -- Jeff Shoate

Raymond Ventrone is Troy Smith light, I hope he makes the active roster.

Jimmy Martin will never clear waivers. He has played very well in the first two preseason games.
