On Monday, NBC’s Peter King led his weekly column with a section called “early report card” which examined each NFL team’s offseason to this point.
While he went rather in depth on certain organizations, he kept his analysis of the Patriots’ moves succinct. King led with the sentence, “New England is a cautionary tale for this time of year.”
King referred to the risks of spending big in the free agent market in football, and particularly how Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spent his cash in the spring of 2021.
“Two years ago, the smartest man in football, Bill Belichick, went nuts in free agency,” King said.
