OK, I have to ask. You have posted insults about Bob Kraft being cheap literally HUNDREDS of times on this forum. What's the deal?
Heaven knows there are plenty of reasons to insult Kraft, and I'd be first in line for most of them. But cheap? The guy who built a brand-new stadium complex without public funding or PSLs? With first-class facilities, food, training complexes, etc. for the team, when plenty of competitors still run camp at random colleges and hotels? Who even bought private jets for his team to fly in? When has he ever shortchanged the Patriots financially?
Obviously, the team opting for a larger group of mid-priced players rather than a handful of top-dollar guys doesn't actually save Bob Kraft money. You surely know that. So the Kraft-is-cheap mantra must come from something else. I really hope it's something other than it sounds like.
Anyway...I doubt that the Patriots will be willing to do what it takes to pry Beckham away from the Giants. But I feel 100% confident that Bob Kraft's "stinginess" will have nothing to do with it.
