2007 New England Patriots Season - Opening Training Camp Roster

Opening Training Camp Roster

As of the Patriots' first training camp practice at Gillette Stadium on July 27, they had the NFL maximum of 80 players signed to their roster. First-round pick Brandon Meriweather, who was not signed until after training camp began, did not count against that limit until his signing. Asante Samuel also did not count against the limit, as he had not signed yet signed his franchise tag tender and was not in training camp. Finally, the Patriots received five total roster exemptions for the NFL Europa allocations of Brian Barthelmes, Danny Baugher, and Tom Malone (one for each player, plus two bonus exemptions because of the time Baugher and Malone spent on practice squads in 2007).

Famous quotes containing the words opening, training and/or camp:

    “She tried to found a salon, and only succeeded in opening a restaurant.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it’s the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.”
    —Christopher Morley (1890–1957)

    “When the weather is bad as it was yesterday, everybody, almost everybody, feels cross and gloomy. Our thin linen tents—about like a fish seine, the deep mud, the irregular mails, the never to-be-seen paymasters, and “the rest of mankind,” are growled about in “old-soldier” style. But a fine day like today has turned out brightens and cheers us all. We people in camp are merely big children, wayward and changeable.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
