I don’t recall every seeing a FA spending frenzy like the Pats. Said a lifelong Washington fan in astonishment.

I think the closest to that level of spending is when the Giants went on a crazy spending spree a couple of years ago. I think that's when they got Snacks Harrison Olivier Vernon and Janoris Jenkins.
Also, I don't want to defend Belichick, but him going on a spending spree is the equivalent of Brady going to a talented Tampa Bay Bucs team.
While it is amazing what Brady did, it's not like he went to the Jets and won a Super Bowl with that roster.
That being said, this Patriots spending spree is making this offseason a lot of fun to watch. It's like, who will they get next?!?!

Did Darth Hoodie misread a decimal place in this year’s salary cap? How can they possibly afford this? Maybe Bellicheck is thinking one more SB run and then he retires, leaving the team in cap hell for years (and losing consistently as a result, thus appearing to affirm how important Bellichick is to the team).
(Initial misspelling intentional.)

Talented and well coached Bucs team. Good point.

Pats had a lot of cap space to begin with. Maybe around 60 mil? I'm not surprised they can afford that, I mean they NEVER paid anyone, so I don't think they were ever in any cap situations for the past decade.

WR Kendrick Bourne, 25 yrs old, 72 pff, 49 catches, 667 yards last year.
3 yrs/15M .. 3.1M cap hit for 2021, they could cut him after 1 season and only have 2.8 dead money.

Rapoport is saying its 3/22.5 so idk ... but if its 3/15 w so little guaranteed .. that is a great cheap signing by the Pats

Per OTC:
the following teams are currently over the cap:
Rams at 38M
Bears at 20M
Eagles at 18M
Falcons at 14M
Saints at 12M
Packers at 2M
Most of those are probably one or two restructures away, but damn the Rams gotta a helluva alot of work by tomorrow 4pm.

Bill is feverishly trying to put together a stacked team in hopes of returning to the SB. I just don't think he gets it done with Cam...
