No the Pats did say they thought it was an overreach. Which is pretty much all there was to do outside of quietly ignore the league’s ruling and keep them on some part of Kraft’s payroll. Not worth getting into a pissing contest with the league over some of the team’s lowest paid employees, not when there’s so many paths around it.
