The point is why aren't they here?? The Patriots nickel and dime approach is starting to take a toll.
They lack quality depth and it's killing them.
Sam Aiken and Junior Seau or Jabar Gaffney and Mike Vrabel??
It's no contest!!
And don't talk to me about salary cap and all that nonsense.
That's Bill's spin and it's weak when you see the moves other teams are able to make with their rosters when under the same cap.
First of all, there is no "Patriots Nickel and Dime approach." That is for idiots who don't understand the salary cap. And you claiming that the Salary Cap is nonsense shows that you don't understand much about the different facets of the business.
And the cap isn't the same for every team. The starting point is the same, but the end point isn't. For a variety of reasons. Such as Likely To Be Earned Bonuses and Not Likely To Be Earned Bonuses. And the credits and debits that they get for the ones that are made and not made.
Also, something that you clearly don't comprehend is that the trade off wasn't Gaffney for Aiken. The trade off was Gaffney for Galloway. And, at the time, the Pats thought that they were getting a WR would could work with Brady and run the intermediate routes they needed so as to open things up for Welker and Moss. Hindsight is 20/20.
Also, it wasn't a trade off of Seau for Vrabel. There is a lot more to it than that.
