The official 53-man roster for the 2023 New England Patriots is now set.

It took quite a bit of last-minute tinkering from coach Bill Belichick to get the roster in line by the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday.

One of those moves included trading veteran kicker Nick Folk to the Tennessee Titans for a 2025 seventh-round draft. But the biggest surprise came later in the day, when it was reported that the team had cut their remaining backup quarterbacks, Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham.

None of the decisions made could have been easy for Belichick with all of the tough training camp battles that ensued over the last few weeks. Let’s take a look at every player that made the initial 53-man roster.
