A huge fan of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, UConn BB, Bruins. First person to create a webpage focused on a NFL team’s salary cap. Consider it a coincidence and not a correlation the Pats’ success since my coverage of their salary cap started in 2001.

Mike Vrabel's X & O's breakdown focuses on deep-ball passing, a good pocket for Drake Maye, how the offense converted the initial 1st down on 8 of 9 drives, Kayshon Boutte breaking leverage, Marcus Jones' first career sack, hammer technique etc.

AFR: the #Patriots see a league-high single-high safety rate. Drake Maye was 11-17 for 190 yards & 3 TDs vs. single-high in NOLA. Will defenses adjust, and in turn, does that open up the run game?

This shows each team's record and the combined win rate of their opponents so far, sorted from toughest to easiest schedule through Week 6

ATL is above 0.500 vs a very difficult schedule. Flip side, the team ATL just beat, the Bills have had a comically light schedule

Should have pointed out the Eagles have structured A.J. Brown’s deal to void in 2030 leaving them with a $53M plus dead money hit.

Patscap @patscap.bsky.social · 1d

The Eagles do not mind having dead money on their cap. Have over $82M this season.

GLOSS @glosston.bsky.social · 1d

Isn’t AJ’s dead cap money for the Eagles astronomical and thus makes him mostly untradeable?
