Travaris Cadet is 39
Bradley Fletcher is 24
Jabaal Sheard is 93

Malcom Brown and Jake Bequette are sharing 92, which shows how rocky new tight end Bequette's roster standing will be
Jordan Richards is 37 (RODNEY HARRISON!)
Geneo Grissom is 48
Trey Flowers is 74
Tre Jackson is 63, taking over from Dan Connolly, which might symbolize how unlikely Connolly's return will be

Rules from the Patriots Camp

"Please do not report on strategy, including formations, personnel groups, 1st team/2nd team groupings, and non-conventional plays.
Please do not report on players who line up in positions different from the one listed on the roster.
Please do not quote, paraphrase, or report the comments made by coaches or players during a practice session."
Practice Notes
Per Mike Reiss, Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo were 50/50 on snaps, with Brady leading the drills.
Bill Belichick says that the practice isn't a sign of who will play, but instead for teaching the players.
Per Ben Volin, Garoppolo was the last player on the practice field.
Garoppolo spoke to the media about spending time with the wide receivers in California, with Julian Edelman one of the players involved.
Julian Edelman drops the line "They hate ya, if they ain't ya."
Someone asked Belichick about DeflateGate. He replied, "we're on to 2015." IT HAPPENED!!! HE SAID THE THING!
Brandon Spikes said he was surprised to receive a call from Belichick to invite him back.
Rob Gronkowski says that Tom Brady comes out to practice "like nothing happened" and that whatever penalty is levied won't change how he prepares or plays in games.
