As the final seconds of the AFC Championship Game ticked down Sunday night, CBS broadcaster Tony Romo weaved the New England Patriots into the conversation.
Romo has high hopes for the Patriots, who went 7-9 this season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
“The AFC is going to be loaded,” Romo said. “I’m telling you, New England is going to be back in this thing. I have a feeling Belichick, with that much salary cap, they’ll find a way to come back in this thing.”
The Patriots are projected to have over $60 million in cap space this offseason and could free up even more room with a couple of cost-cutting maneuvers.
