And i also bet that half the fan base and mediots locally will say "They understand his decision and there is merit to it and agree to it". Borges will pen a novel around it. Its like the backup QB syndrome, when your QB isnt producing everyone wants to see a change in QB. Only to realize he might suck more.If he does something stupid like that then he deserves to see his team miss the playoffs for the rest of the decade and there's an excellent chance that will happen too.
What he did before was on a tight budget.I agree. Bill will do the same thing he did before and during Brady's years - go after the mid level FA who's he may be familiar with. There may be a big FA Bill covets that he will spend top dollar for (Colvin, Thomas, and Gilmore). Which guy could you see Bill surprising us and giving a big contract to? I was shocked at the Gilmore signing and didn't think he was that great in Buffalo. Loved the Colvin and Thomas signings.
My surprise big contract is to Leonard Williams or LaVonte David. I like Trey Hendrickson as an under the radar pickup.

They had a ton of cap in 2009 and I remember in the ESPN chat days, Mike Reiss had no answers as to why BB didn't spend any money.What he did before was on a tight budget.
He now has more money by far than he ever has had before.
Look at it this way:
Why do the patriots have a ton of cap room now and in past years almost never had any to speak of?
Because in last years the high cap slots were filled by players already here. This year they will be filled with free agents.
The patriots always have had as many players as anyone else in the top cap bracket. They just had them in house and their “free agents” were keeping their own or already having extended them. This year those slots are open so of course he is going to bring in top talent because he knows better than anyone that you need top rating to win. He also knows far better than anyone that you need depth and role players too.
BB probably has copies of the tapes of Bob in Wild Orchid or Shangri-Lube or whatever it is.Bob should worry less about what the media says about the coach and be more concerned with not hiring morons that point cameras at other teams sidelines and cost his team draft picks.
Not correct. Patriots spent all their cap money except a cushion of 2 million.They had a ton of cap in 2009 and I remember in the ESPN chat days, Mike Reiss had no answers as to why BB didn't spend any money.
You're right. I must be mixing it up with another year.Not correct.
Pats are 2-3 yrs away from building a SB team. Until then there is going to be a lot of pain and agita. Brace yourself. 2001 was an abnormality.
Should trade for Keenum, if we get weaponszzzz and at least bring back Andrews. Offense will be pretty good.We felt further away from a SB team at the end of 2000 than we do now, so I'll never count out Bill and his staff.
Definitely tough to imagine us vying for a title next year, but the right QB (Fitz), shoring up some positions, and a reduced pandemic impact on our team's ability to gameplan and implement that gameplan every week I could definitely see us netting enough wins to get into the playoffs.
There really has never been a year where they left cap space on the table beyond a necessary cushion.You're right. I must be mixing it up with another year.
NFL.com charts salary cap space
The Patriots have the second-least salary cap space entering free agency, according to one report.www.boston.com
Where is this idea the Patriots aren't going to do anything and wait 3 years coming from?
