DL Observsations from KC Joyner

Bob Kraft opted out of the CBA because the players were getting
too much. I don't see him reversing direction and paying market
value for very many of the Patriot's free agents.

The best thing that can happen is the uncapped year which requires
6 years for free agency. This makes several of the Patriots RFAs instead
of UFAs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots lose Green, Seymour, and
Wilfork among several others to free agency.

You really should go back and do some research about Robert Kraft and player contracts before you insinuate that he is "cheap". ;)

Also an uncapped year removes the floor number of the cap that requires teams to spend to a minimum amount. So yeah the Cowboys, Redskins and Raiders may spend crazily but after that money gets tight. But I would fully expect New England to still spend more than most (i.e. top 5-10), as they continually do every year.

Not to mention the Top 8 rule etc... that limit how many FA's playoff teams can sign etc.. New England seemingly has set it up so that nearly all of their contracts expire this year. Meaning they will be in as good of a position as a team could possibly be entering next year, even if they win the SuperBowl.
