Overview

  • New England waived Cole Strange on Tuesday as it finalized the 53-man roster.
  • Strange was the No. 29 pick in 2022 out of Chattanooga and started all 17 games as a rookie.
  • A knee injury late in 2023 sidelined him for much of 2024 and limited his return.
  • Third-round rookie Jared Wilson has overtaken the left guard spot, according to reports.
  • The Patriots also cut 2025 picks Bradyn Swinson and Kobee Minor, leaving Christian Gonzalez as the lone Belichick-era first-rounder on the roster.
