I believe the Pats will pay to get Higgins and be active in bolstering their OL in the draft and FA.

They have no history over overpaying players.  Kraft let everyone blame Belichick before.  They will have to over pay to get him there.  We will see, not everyone is taking a discount to go there now Brady is gone.

If they want to drop $30M/year on Higgins, who is at best a #2 WR...

He’s good but yeah, he isn’t a game changer and completely benefits from Chase. 
 

and the bills played backups and lost a game. But yeah, I guess it was some masterful move somehow haha.

Even if the Pats believe that they have their QB of the future, they missed out on the opportunity to gain a boatload of picks to move down for another team to draft "their" QB of the future.

I don't care what it's called, just glad it happened.

In a meaningless game for the Bills with a preseason approach, this may be my favorite item coming out of it.   It’s too bad Bill B. was no longer there.  Makes one wonder if the Pats dropping to the 4th pick had any part in Mayo being let go so soon after the game.

 

Seriously, it would be hard to believe that a head coach would be directed to lose a game but who knows.
