I know it's very easy to write off last year in retrospect as if oh yeah, it was part of the plan. But Kraft's comments about taking advantage of corrections and inefficiencies are really telling. I don't think they weren't trying to compete, but I do think they deliberately treated it as a reset year, and as good a year as they ever could pick. A lot of live and dead money came off the books at the same time other organizations aren't able to absorb real payroll as well as the premier teams in the league due to the covid economy. They were also in prime position to load up on guys at discounted prices due to uncertainties, etc.
