Come on, Mazz. You been pushing that one comment (I've never had to come up with so much capital before) taken out of context, as proof that Kraft is upset about spending that much money since the day of the interview, when in fact, it is pretty clear he knew it was a gamble, acknowledged it might not work as it hadn't for others, but there were special situations for the Pats this year and that's why he spent more capital than ever before. All Kraft actually said was that he spent more than he ever had before (true). There is nothing in that statement of what he did that implies he is upset or that BB had better perform. He says it was a gamble and that he was "very cognizant of that."
Kraft explained why they spent so much money. He says it was a gamble and why he was onboard with it. Here is what Kraft said:
"It's like investing in the stock market," Kraft said. "You take advantage of corrections and inefficiencies in the market when you can, and that's what we did here. We'll see. Nothing is guaranteed, and I'm very cognizant of that. But we're not in the business to be in business. We're in this business to win."
"We had the second or third-most cap room at the start of free agency," Kraft told King. "This year, instead of having 10 or 12 teams competing for most of the top players, there were only two or three. And in my 27 years as owner, I've never had to come up with so much capital before."
"We'll see," Kraft said with some caution. "I do remember we always made fun of the teams that spent a lot in the offseason. So we know nothing is guaranteed, and I'm very cognizant of that."
