Patriots could franchise Butler next year. Maybe trade him then. If they keep Butler this year, maybe they are trying for the best players for a 6th (and potentially final) SB run (and maybe a ring) for Brady?
No. People are reading waaaaaaaay to much into this "loading up" idea. They had around 60 million in cap space and are acting like it. The Cooks trade is a partial go for it move, but the ability of have had several extremely good drafts the last few years allowed them to "splurge" a bit.
Things are at pretty much standard operating procedure with a few small variations due to the immense cap space they have.
