I've never been much of a salary cap guy but I've been hearing some things lately that piqued my interest. One thing I heard is that the Pats have been below the average for cap spending. Is that true?
Another thing I heard, and I don't know how anyone would know this information, is that Kraft gives Belichick a maximum figure to deal with for the football operation and that includes the player and coach salaries.
I also heard that Belichick's salary is much higher than any other HC/GM and is also part of the budget that Kraft gives him to work with. If true, that would seem to indicate that Bill's salary affects the salaries of players on the field.
Anyone have any thoughts or info on any of that?
