New England is DEFINITELY going higher than that, they have more money than they can reasonably spend.

If Veach spends $25M+ a season on Stanley, this team is gonna have some holes - unless Clark is willing to cut a $50M check to convert signing bonuses for Mahomes, CJ and Kelce.

And even after all that, paying a draft class - there are still gonna be some question marks.

If we don't do whatever it takes to fix LT, the rest doesn't matter. Cut checks, leave holes elsewhere, whatever. Protect Mahomes who turns 30 this year. We have another decade of greatness ahead if we do that.
