It would be unprecedented if Belichick spent as much on a quarterback as he would need to for Prescott. But we’re talking about an excellent fit for the Patriots and their franchise guy for a decade, assuming he’s the same player after his ankle injury. Belichick could afford Prescott and wouldn’t need to give up draft capital, but it’s more likely the Patriots take a less expensive route.
