If it was any other team I would be impressed. But since it is the Pats, Fuck them with a broken spoon.
Pats are paying him essentially what the Raiders were going to (Raiders 14.5mil year 1, NE 15mil year 1) , but broken into one year deals instead of a 3 year. They happened to have the exact amount of open cap space to do this, where they never carry this much cap.
