"DJ Moore was gonna get cut, and they gave up a second-round pick to get him. They gave up a second-round pick and $40 million [in guarantees]. What is going on?"
"Fortunately, the Patriots are not in desperation mode the way the Bills are, who saw their status atop the AFC East slip after failing to sweep the Mike Vrabel-led team last year."
"They're now seeing their Super Bowl window start to close, if it was even open to begin with, and they're making desperate moves to improve the roster without thinking of the long-term implications."
The Patriots were expected to make significant moves in free agency, particularly for a star wide receiver, but have not done so. Meanwhile, the Bills traded a second-round pick for DJ Moore, which has drawn criticism from NFL executives. This situation is advantageous for the Patriots, who are not in a desperate position like the Bills. The Bills' aggressive moves may jeopardize their long-term success, while the Patriots can capitalize on their competitors' missteps in the divisional race.
