Nothing. That's BB's MO. One year too early > one year too late.
The money commitment it would have required was probably not worth it.
Pats will put all their eggs in the defense basket and try to run the ball much more. That's why they franchised Thuney, IMO.
Edelman, Sanu, Harry, Michel, White is not a bad bunch of skill players. Stidham has a great arm.
Depending on who they draft and what signings we make, I think the Pats can still win the division. It will be uber difficult, but I think they can do it. No way they bottom out.
