Patriots 2025 Draft

[Southieinnc]

I don't think it's as easy as sitting them. Working them into game scenarios / situations okay I get that, but to say hey bench guy you are now a starter have fun, I don't think that bodes well for team spirit.

There is a time for drastic action. This may be that time.
I don't know what drastic action is called for but we are paying people to know.
I'm not worried about wins at this time but we better see improvement
Otherwise, we'll need 22 draft picks next year......

$37,759,383

That money is sitting in Wolfe's desk as I type.

2024	$227,581,757	$265,341,140	$37,759,383
2025	$176,265,060	$309,153,361	$132,888,301

That is the Patriots' cap space to spend on free agents next year. Think they should be looking to roll over the $37, 759,383 and have
$170,647,684?
I know that this team is not making the playoffs in 2024. Should they be looking to pick up more 6th and 7th rouind draft picks and send Kenderick Bourne, Johnathan Jones (Highest cap number on the team $10.4M) or anyone else to a contender? What is the limit than can be rolled over? If they keep dumping players, how many free agents will want to come to the Patriots and be part of a never ending rebuild?
We're halfway through this season already and this management group has ignore all of the remaining free agents available. Something just doesn't smell right about the way that this roster is being built.

You can roll over the entire amount. Really the only rule the NFL has is that the cap space over a 4-year period must have 89% of that money spent. So you can have a low year but still be fine.

Just throw all the money at every over the hill, underperforming, cancer in the NFL. Yeah, that will work great!

This is what happens most years. The teams with the most cap space are usually the teams without a great roster because they have no one to pay of their own guys. So it means then they have to pay what is called the "Loser Tax" in overpaying big time for average talent and it is not a great way to build a roster. Do you really want to pay say Tee Higgins top-5 WR money when he is probably closer to a #2 type WR? Might have to if you want to improve that WR room. Same with OL. Do you want to pay Garret Bolles top-3 LT money when he is probably closer to 10th best LT in football?

At least you guys are not paying $85 million for a guy not on your roster. Talk about compounding a bad decision. Trade major draft capital then hand him a huge contract on top of it.
