Some local (AM890) sports host said the Pats didn't take full advantage of the cap space aloted last year.

Any thoughts?

If you're talking about Felger, his reputation is swinging from a jibbet, metaphorically speaking. F him and the horse he rode in on.

The last published report was that they were 3 Mil under the cap. Rumors were they were less than 100K.

Even if its 3 Mil, thats 97% of the allowable limit. remembering that teams usually want to keep a couple of mil aside for injuries, they were 99% of "budget".

How is that cheap?

Latest rumor is that they were $76 under.

Cheap cost them turnovers, dropped balls, poor execution and penalties.. as far as I know they spend to thelimit every year.

Scott Zolak on the fifth quarter last night said they were something like $76 dollars under the cap this year. Those cheap bastards.

Honestly, I tend to agree with the "cheap" statement. Imagine what would have happened if we gave all $76 to Branch, he would have re-signed for sure and made us a better football team.

I love the whole "the Pat's are cheap" thing. Financial planning for the future is frowned upon, why wait to buy that hot new car when I can buy it now on credit? Conversely, why not pay free agents way more than they are worth to you when you've got cap room? I bet a lot of the same people who hate the pats "cheapness" are also in loads of debt themselves because they didn't want to think in the long term.

The Pats just lost the SB on the road by 4 on an epic drive in the final minute bu a HOF QB. And the front office failed? Felger should commit hari-kari and spare us his garbage.

You guys are right, Reche is as clutch a #1 receiver as any we've ever had!

By the way, according to Miguel, who is far more knowledgable than any genius's who replied to this thread from their high horse, the Pats are 3-4 million under under the cap.
