I also posted this as a comment for you, but I feel that I should let the whole world see this response as a post.  This is my response to the question of how in the heck are the patriots signing everyone without going over the salary cap.

“First, nice to see someone that hates the cheating patriots as much as I do. I only hate Dallas more, but that is a different story. I looked over the cap numbers and I have absolutely no idea how New England cannot be over the cap. Basically, they are mortgaging the future for this upcoming year. You can only keep putting off paying people’s salaries for so long before you end up like the 49ers. And we can see what kind of salary cap hell they have had to endure. I also would not be surprised if new england does not sign all of their rookies. Remember, when you draft someone, it does not mean you have to sign them and take a hit to the cap. I would expect New England to sign from the top down until they run out of money. However, any injuries to this team and the Patriots go from a team expected to vie for a superbowl to a high priced mediocre team. If I were you, I would pray for horrible injuries to NE players in week one of the season. One last note to help you get through the off-season my Pa brother, Moss is a cancer like Owens. “Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” In other words, if you have acted like a locker room cancer your whole life(30+ years), you will not change because you have Brady/Belichick telling you to change. ”

So you can see, I feel like the moves have made the patriots the team to beat, but they are about two injuries away from being complete trash(22 injuries away from being the Redskins).  I would also like to take this time to give a quick shout out to the Philadelphia Eagles draft.  I mean, WTF, Heckert and Reid were definitely into the stash of drugs Andy’s sons have.  I will be shocked if one of these bums becomes a starter in the NFL.  I even graduated from PSU, but you are telling me Tony Hunt was better than Michael Bush?  They just don’t get  it when it comes to drafting a big running back.  Thank God the offensive line is the best in the game, because Christ, was that draft painful to watch.

And just to show everyone that I am not the only one wondering about what the patriots are doing lately, read this latest article about patriots craziness.
