That's the whole point. You're saying that, because there's no cap, and they're a large-market team, they can afford whoever they want. AKA they have an inherent economic advantage... which isn't true, if you actually look at the situation in any depth. Whatever advantage they have, there's also a handful of significant disadvantages that you've failed to account for: it's a privately funded stadium, no PSLs, etc. etc.--all things that, as fans and taxpayers, we should appreciate rather than failing to take them into consideration and then ripping on the team for being 'cheap'.
It's a pretty huge pet peeve of mine when anyone implies, let alone states, that Kraft is cheap. Newsflash: if that was true, you'd be a fan of the St. Louis Patriots. Not to be a jerk, but maybe you should go and actually learn your team's history before you throw around that type of accusation. Kraft came to own the Patriots by buying Foxboro Stadium for $25M, then refusing to let Orthweim break the team's contract with the stadium to move it to St. Louis (he was offered $75M; surely a cheap man would have sprung for this). If that wasn't enough, he then bought the Pats for $175M (at the time, NFL record). And the icing on the cake, of course, is that he turned down the Hartford deal to build Gillette in Foxboro, despite the whole thing being privately financed. There's no argument to be made that Kraft is cheap: it's obviously and demonstrably untrue. There is absolutely nothing credible to it, and his entire history of actions says the opposite. If you think the Pats are cheap, then it's because you're too ignorant to have any idea what you're talking about, end of story.
Anyways, to get back to the core point, the reality of the financial situation isn't even close to what you're trying to claim. The Colts, which I used as my example for a reason, may be a smaller market team, but they also don't have hundreds of millions of dollars in debt to service. That's a sizable constraint, and if you don't know enough to recognize that, then you should probably refrain from pretending to be some expert on why Pats make the financial decisions that they make.
