The Falcons don't need to go on a spending spree. They just need to sign Kirk Cousins to a 3 year deal..
What happens if the Pats go on a spending spree? Won’t that make it look like Belichick was the one who wouldn’t spend? The Patriots are far more likely to be big spenders than a lot of the teams that Belichick may be on. The Pats have $75 million in cap space with $14 million more when they cut JC Jackson. That would make the Pats with the most cap space in the league.
The Chargers are $35 million over the cap.
The Cowboys are $11 million over the cap ( and Jerruh ain’t giving up GM responsibilities).
The Falcons have $37.7 million. A decent amount of money by today’s standards, but not really enough to go on a spending spree.
The Commanders and Titans have about as much as the Pats, but both have new GMs. The Commanders just hired Adam Peters and the Titans hired Carthon last year. So Belichick won’t get personnel control on those teams.
And the Bengals might franchise Higgins to keep the band together for one more year before they have to let them go. So I am not sure anyone will pay for him.
