Besides A Thomas and Wes Welker, who was signed for gobs of money? Both have cap friendly contracts to boot.

The Pats signed 15 (let me say it again, 15) free-agents for the 2001 team. Where are most of them now?
When they stop preforming they leave.

I'm not saying NE will stink next year, but could this be the peak? Is the window closing? Last chance? As if there weren't enough pressure this year
keep dreaming.as long as BB and pioli are with the team.the pats will be very good for years to come.nobody drafts players better then the pats do .its obvious to everybody here your extremely jealous and drooling with envy over the patriots .there is nothing you can say that's going to rain on anybodies parade here.thank you for your concern but rest assured patriots fans are enjoying it and they will continue to lol

As opposed to you guys who went 8-8 last year. Interesting definition of how you "keep on truckin'".

Which ones are that..? Moss..? Well, he has a 1 year deal so it's tough to say we mortgaged the future on him. Thomas..? I hardly consider him "over the hill". Wes Welker is 26. Donte Stallworth has a 100% club-friendly contract.

So which free agents are going to hurt us..?

The pats don't build through the draft?!?!?! Boy, you might be legally retarded. The following are patriots draft picks currently starting for team.

Tom Brady
Matt Light
Logan Mankins
Dan Koppen
Stephen Neal (UDFA)
Nick Kazcur
Ben Watson
Laurence Maroney
Kevin Faulk
Richard Seymour
Vince Wilfork
Ty Warren
Tedy Bruschi
Jarvis Green
Asante Samuel
James Sanders
Eugene Wilson
Ellis Hobbs
Randal Gay

Current players in the NFL drafted by the Patriots include:
David Givens
Deion Branch
Damien Woody
Lawyer Milloy
Ty Law
Willie McGinnest
...the list goes on and on and on.


Say what you will about the Patriots, but they have always been a team that builds through the draft and augments through free agency. Man, you really know nothing about football, huh?

They have always? nah, maybe during the Brady/Bellicheck era of football? And to everyone saying other fans are jealous of the Pats? well, I dont know about everybody elses teams, but Steeler fans arent jealous of anybody. Since the 1970's the steelers have had 7 losing seasons, thats it 7!!!
The rooneys are the best owners in the NFL thats for sure. When the Pats accomplish something like that then maybe you can talk about the pats franchise being the best.
