Like they didn't want Stanley, Kupp, Moore to pay a bigger price??

Clearly they didn't. You can't get everything. Sometimes you commit, other times you wait and see. What you don't do is think "we'll let them cut him - then swoop in", that's a recipe to lose a player to any of 31 other teams who are thinking "we'll let them cut him - then swoop in".

I'm not so sure of that. A lot depends on what the asking price is before being cut. NE had the most cap, so in most cases could out bid most teams. The only negative then becomes the player. If he doesn't want to come to NE he's not coming. If that's the case did you really want him here via trade? I want players that want to be here and will play hard for Vrabel and the logo, not the name on the back of the jersey.

Actually you are making my point. There are a lot of variables involved.
