A year later, the New England Patriots have finally made good on that "burn some cash" comment by former head coach Jerod Mayo.
They left no stone unturned in their efforts to put the broken franchise back together in the offseason. The team wasn't able to do it in the final years of the Bill Belichick era, and they failed miserably in the one-and-done Mayo trial run. Then Mike Vrabel walked into the building and the team was making it rain cash like a Lil Wayne music video.
The Patriots entered the offseason with more money to spend than any other team in the league.
