I think we can all agree it never is as they always look to future. 2007 comes to mind however.

Thanks again DRC! His idiotic asking price could very well have been the start of the Pats getting Revis. But he's right. They didn't get him to go all in..he fell to them. And hopefully it lasts more then a year.

The notion that the Patriots were “all in” for 2014 was all wet from the start.
It’s based on the notion that the team went bananas in the offseason to make a push toward a title. It’s centered around the acquisition of Darrelle Revis.
But Revis is a Patriot today not because the Patriots felt any urgency to get the planet’s best corner (arguably), but because of a confluence of circumstances that put him in their lap.
The first domino was Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie’s asking price. The Broncos best corner in 2013 wasn’t biting on the offer Denver extended so John Elway went after Aqib Talib and signed him on March 11.
Talib hadn’t loved what the Patriots were dangling – proclaiming the offer to be ”a little shaky.”So, that put the Patriots out of the Talib business and into the market for an elite corner.
