New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo told Karen Guregian of Mass Live that he misspoke when he previously said on WEEI's The Greg Hill Show that the team was ready to "burn some cash" in free agency.
"I kind of misspoke when I said 'burn some cash' but I was excited when you see those numbers. When you reflect on those numbers ... you don't have to spend all of it in one year."
The Patriots are second in the NFL in effective cap space ($69.3 million), per Over the Cap.
