Patriots cut depth pieces to make roster room after the draft. Multiple outlets reported the releases following four UDFA signings, suggesting planned attrition. Jiles, a third-year receiver, couldn't secure a roster spot despite organizational familiarity. Fans debated whether New England neglected the WR position entirely in draft planning. Patriots will likely rely on drafted talent and further free agent acquisitions at receiver.
