The Patriots have already started the process of getting their roster down to 53 by the 4 p.m. roster. We'll bring you all the latest moves with our analysis, starting with former second-round pick Duke Dawson getting traded for nothing:

Road to 53, v.19.6 โ FINAL: Did inactives for finale give road map to initial 53-man roster?
12:04 p.m.: CB Duke Dawson and a seventh-round pick traded to Broncos for a sixth-round pick.
Earlier this week, I asked some fellow beat writers to share who might be available from their teams in a trade. This is what I said about the CB situation:
CB Jonathan Jones: Really, really good slot corner going into final year of deal. I'll be shocked if they deal him because ...
CB Duke Dawson: ... last year's second-round pick is not ready to play slot and I'm not sure he's going to make this team. Patriots might be willing to cut their losses here. Was injured most of last season.
