Robert Kraft Says Patriots Won't Be Afraid To Spend

10 months ago

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft pushed back on the notion that his franchise is unwilling to spend on premium players and expressed optimism for what his team can do with their upcoming looming salary cap space and the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. "But we never held back with any of the coaches we've had over the last 30 years. They've been able to get whatever they want. If cash spending became an issue for our family, and we couldn't do it, then I would sell the team. I can assure our fans that spending will never be held back or the reason that we don't sign players," Kraft said. It will be interesting to see what direction the Patriots go in this year after mutually parting ways with legendary head coach Bill Belichick after he put in 24 years with the organization.
