There's a receiver that might be challenging for a roster spot, a linebacker that could emerge as a defensive standout, and defensive linemen that could knock off a veteran from the roster. Oh, and then the Patriots get to play Josh McDaniels and the Raiders next week. Alec and Rich cover it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
