When NFL free agency started, no one expected the New England Patriots to go on a massive, record-breaking spending spree. But that's just what they did, surprising fans and analysts everywhere.
Owner Robert Kraft wasn't asleep at the wheel, letting head coach and GM Bill Belichick run wild like a kid who went on an Amazon shopping spree after guessing his dad's password. Even though there's a lot of risk involved, Kraft fully supported the plan to give out more guaranteed money than any other team had before, because he knows that's what it will take to get his team back on top.
