Anyone familiar with NE's 2024 draft picks and cap situations? Would they be fire selling any of their starters?

Kind of
I am wondering how much longer Belichick will keep on coaching if things don’t get better. Dude is 71

Quite the difference from Carrol who is 72. One team seems competitive while the other is floundering.

The real question would be: Will NE trade for a real starting QB? or, will NE start trading away their starters for picks?

All those years of "Bill Belicheck is a genius!" "And all of those genius picks in the draft!"

Meanwhile, Tom Brady goes to another team and wins a Super Bowl.

And John Schneider fleeces Genius Bill out of DK Metcalf and the TE Hollowell was it?

Patriots didn't try to invest in OT and quality WRs so this is the end result. Worse, their defense isn't that dominant with all that is invested on that side of the ball.

Honestly the Patriots are 4 to 5 safeties deep but you need quality starters first across the board before you load up on quality safeties.

At this moment, Bill Belicheck isn't a genius but Brady is the GOAT.

Welp, cue up the Bailey Zappe. May as well at least have a QB with a colorful name while losing.

Bill needs to hire a GM he’s comfortable working with and focus on coaching. He probably won’t though.
