Well, this is why the NFL is unbeaten.

When you look at every other sport, there's a down time, not in the national football league.

The Super Bowl is over and now it's been just a frenzy.

The free age and frenzy as teams are looking to make moves, it has been a dizzying stretch

of negotiating and no one more exciting than the new England Patriots.

The amount of moves they have done, the amount of money that they have shelled out, $200

million, coming off a seven and nine season, trying to remove that stench and making move

after move.

Before we get into all the names, because there's just a bevy of names here, Mike, your

reaction as a guy who knows Bill Balschek well, who has worked the New England Patriots,

this is not a team who is used to spending a ton of money, what has been your reactions

you've seen them sign guy after guy?

You know, I think when you look at this, I think you have to understand the situation

and when you go back and look at 2020, and this is not the offer and excuse for my friend,

but the 2020 season, they knew they were going to be in cap trouble.

They knew that because Brady was leaving left a huge cap debt, they had a mistake with

Antonio Brown, left a huge cap debt, so 2020 was going to be hard.

Then the opt-outs hit and now it became even harder.

Their team wasn't very good, frankly.

The lack of successful drafts, the lack of free agents coming through, all those things,

perfect storm.

They still won seven games.
