You said this "I can't explain the free space other than Bill wanted to roll money over, and we couldn't find the guys we wanted in FA for the price we wanted." which makes it sound like we had this cap space then. Which we didn't. We spent a lot in FA and didn't have that much cap left. You can explain that free space by telling the truth. Which is that we didn't have it.
Fair enough. I guess I'm assuming Belichick knew they were going to cut or trade Mankins, which right now doesn't seem a safe assumption since our plans for replacing him were not very good.
