What is ridiculous is that a comment such as 'Curran is hearing' what the organization plans to do is taken seriously.
There is absolutely no way that anyone in the organization would be sharing inside plans with Curran or anyone who he could hear it from.
For years, fans have taken this supposed 'inside info' from Foxborough serioulsy and it has always turned out to be speculation.
Curran is probably 'hearing' it from his reporter buddies who are speculating what they think will happen, with no basis.
This information could be right or wrong as it is just an uninformed guess, but the fact that Curran spewed it makes it no more likely to happen.
Personally, it looks like the Pats had been gearing to rebuild over the next few years. They are well below the projected cap (assuming there might be one) and their actual payroll is way lower than it has been in years. I actually expect the opposite and the Pats to be agressive since there will be few teams that will be agressive.
Although few, if any, media people have any insight to what the Pats will do. I tend to agree with Mike Lombardi that since the Pats have one of the lowest actual payrolls in the league that they will be one of the players in free agency.
I still like Curran, but his sources within the organization has been dried up. He also shows his lack of business knowledge.
