Kraft clears up CAP space questions.
I will be first to admit I was wrong about Bob Kraft's intentions with the
CAP space. I will accept him at his word and his word is “It’s not a conscious intention to be under the cap,” Kraft said. “First of all, the season is not over. Clearly, monies were being held for [Deion Branch’s situation]. It’s publicly known we were looking at the Ty Law situation at the time. Those two situations would have taken up a fair amount of the money. And there are some other things we’ll be able to do potentially between now and the end of the year.” http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal.../reiss_pieces/ He said it was not a conscious intention ... I take him at his word. So they still have some things they can do between now and end of the year. I hope extending contracts like Graham and Samuel is what he meant. |

jonathan kraft was on felger's show and answered a similar question about spending to limit by saying something like "if you have 5 mill dollars ,sure you can buy a ferrari for 1 mill.but how useful is it if you have drive your car in say streets of downtown boston with difficult routes and roads" something of that sort implying there needs to be value in the money spent

Absolute worst case, they can give Brady a $6M check from this year's cap and reduce his yearly salary by $1M each of his remaining years. There's a million and one ways to use it and/or roll it over to the future.

Re: Kraft clears up CAP space questions.
It doesn't make sense to not invest that money into the product on the field when you are sitting on one of the most valuable sports franchises out there. They can use it to pay a player that they obtain, although that is less likely than attempting to sign a potential free agent or pay a large chunk of a bonus to Seymour or other key player that will take a cap hit this year and lighten the cap hit in later years on those players. The Patriots will spend to the cap; I've never doubted that.
