As is every headcoach right now.

I think the Pats will be smart to save some cap space there are key guys coming up for contracts, there has to be money left in the till or you up in the same situation the Phins are currently in.

I like this as well. Also there are still going to be lots of good players cut from teams to get down to their 53. When I see guys like K. Allen still available I have to think there is a good reason why no one has gone after them at this point.

Age, injury history and dollars. Same for Amari Cooper.

I would like to think we'll be able to keep our high ceiling UDFA's and they might not immediately make the 53.
I'd like to see them get rookie minimum while on the PS. It does not count towards the cap!

My gut says that's another reason that Vrabel isn't spending all of the Cap. Eighteen guys on the PS squad and maybe he's willing to pay them all a couple of mil to prevent the Jests, Dollyfins and others from nitpicking.

Players want to play, the money only serves as a tie breaker.
