Trying to make sense of Patriots' spending decisions originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots' spending, or lack thereof, has been a head-scratcher over the last couple of years.
This summer has been especially puzzling. Despite needing a No. 1 wide receiver to help third-year quarterback Mac Jones, the Patriots were outbid by the Tennessee Titans for DeAndre Hopkins. And even though they have the money to add a dynamic running back in Dalvin Cook, they have yet to bolster their depth at the position behind Rhamondre Stevenson.
