Veteran players Mike Gillislee and Brandon Bolden headed the list of cuts as the New England Patriots got down to the NFL's 53-player limit.
The deadline to trim rosters has come and gone. Here are the players the Patriots parted way with on Saturday.
Unfortunately for Riley McCarron, the receiver will not survive the final round of cuts.
The Patriots have opted to keep veteran corner Jason McCourty.
Danny Etling is no longer a New England Patriot -- at least for now.
Cyrus Jones' career in New England is over.
"I guess it's an interesting position to be in because I can see the end line now, but I still feel like I have a lot to play for, a lot left to do in my career, and a lot left in the tank."
"Belichick -- he wouldn't have more than three beers, and then he would go back to the office and go to work [laughs]. That's that guy."
The New England Patriots defensive lineman opens about his football career, his time with the Baltimore Ravens and his expectations for the Pats in 2018.
It is the end of an era for one of the most disappointing draft picks of the Bill Belichick era.

Not everybody knows who Tom Brady is -- not even everybody who wears his jersey.
Rob Gronkowski was not the only Patriots tight end to rework his contract on Thursday. But the occasion was a bit less celebratory for Dwayne Allen.
It's provocative, to be sure, but that is exactly the point. While much of the sports world gets caught up in the reaction to Ramsey's comments, it's easy to see what the 23-year-old is doing.
Rob Gronkowski -- with his shiny, new, reworked contract -- is solidified as the No. 1 tight end on the Patriots. But for those hoping to learn more about one of his backups in Thursday night's preseason finale, they won't get the chance.
After a rather strange offseason, Rob Gronkowski and the New England Patriots have agreed to a reworked contract that should keep the team and the tight end happy for at least one more season.

There are a number of players battling for a roster spot as the Patriots close out their preseason against the New York Giants on Thursday night.
Surely, if you're the Patriots, you'd like to continue that run of excellence. But the feeling as the 2018 preseason comes to an end is that this year more than most recent years, some questions are still left unanswered. That's exciting.
The end of the preseason is normally a glorious time for NFL players, especially the ones who missed the previous season due to injury. But Julian Edelman this week finds himself lacking that spirit.
Jerry Jones may be wrong. Very wrong. Often. But you can't question the man's influence.
