What I'm getting at is it's who you spend it on that matters.
Not to mention signing the best DC in the game, Wade Phillips.

Denver would have won that Super Bowl with Ryan Leaf at QB entirely because of their defense.

Unfortunately, I don't have faith that SP knows how to fix this mess, besides 2009, 2010 and 2013 the defense has been awful and he can't seem to find a long term fix.

I agree, the square pegs in round holes really never work. A great DC though helps remedy some of the aches and pains.

I don't think there's any way in hell that Dont'a Hightower hits free agency, but I just saw this...

NFL Rumors

Dont'a Hightower is expected to hit free agency. - Tom Curran, CSN NE

Tom Curran reports that there have been no significant talks between the Patriots and Hightower, who happens to be listed atop the NFL Free Agent Inside Linebacker Rankings. -Walter

Imagine signing Hightower and drafting Reuben Foster...

lesson learned?

Spend when you are ready to honestly make a run at the super bowl. Right now we are at the point we need to flood camp with as many players as we can to upgrade across the board. That is the Patriots way. Save some cap for next year just in case you strike gold this year to add the few missing pieces next year. First thing is first is to win this division

this teams needs way to many upgrades across the board to make the kind of impact this defense needs.

My boring FA rankings
Level 1 - DT/RG
Level 2 - LB/DE/RT
Level 3 - Special teams/WR

Draft is loaded at many positions that can fill our needs list. As many players needed I hope the saints go with a get more picks going into this draft. I always want more picks and have been looking at 2017 forward to 2017 for a few years now. This is one of the reasons I was so against trading up for Bell and then trading yet again David Onyemata, which did not get to many as much as the Bell trade. The 5th rounder in this draft is looking mighty good. Oh well Bell can salvage this by becoming a starting FS. After last year I have to say he will need the length of that rookie contract to do it. ranting once again sorry

Seriously! We don't need a running back and we don't need an undersized trick safety! Especially on a team that's lacking what's listed on Hagan's list.

Hightower is boycotting the trip to the Whitehouse.

I have no desire to acquire that idiot.

We wouldn't be able to field a football team if we approached it like that though because I'm sure 75% of our team feels the same way as Hightower.
