I wonder if Kraft Dynasty LLC will be listed in the credits.

It's real hard to like the Kraft family at this point. I certainly don't buy anything they say at face value.
I agree. Thought this excerpt stood out…
"Asked whether Kraft had any motivation to keep Belichick off the sidelines, a source close to the coach said: "If Bill goes on to have success and Tom already had success, then who does [Kraft] have to blame?"
I also want to point out, the team had nearly 100M in cap space and needs at many positions. They barely addressed certain positions and still have nearly 40M in cap space, and most of their signings were keeping the same guys they had. So I guess it wasn't Belichick the GM, but Kraft limiting spending? Because of course that lighthouse is expensive!
Kraft's shields are now gone. No one is gonna blame Mayo or the new staff if things go awry, a lot will go Kraft's way. Good luck.
