will the Pats spend?

Belichick certainly didn't set Mayo up for success, and neither did Kraft. That said, it basically came down to the fact that Drake Maye showed he was even better than advertised. Kraft had to choose between Maye's development and Mayo's, and correctly chose Maye's.

Mayo didn't set Vrabel up for success, Vrabel did it himself. The notion that Bill was responsible for Mayo's mess is a laughable one.

It took Vrabel all of one offseason to build a Super Bowl contender. The hard work of the rebuild was done all the way back in 2020 when they cleared all the dead cap off the books. It only took so long to fix because collaboration was a disaster and the owners were at war with their head coach.

Wolf and Mayo were responsible for that 2024 mess... and whoever hired Mayo's unqualified azz.
