Tweeted by the Patriots 7 minutes ago. Guess they are still excited about a career backup QB.

In that case, I stand corrected. They should be very proud of those signings. Very exciting stuff.
No. It would have been odd if it had been otherwise, given the last half of the run, and especially the post-Brady years.
What are these comments and hot takes from Kraft that have been leaked, in your estimation? And let's not try pinning any comments from Wolf or Mayo on Kraft...
Oh hell, I don't know anymore. I'll try to look back.
All I know is there have been numerous occasions where I have called Kraft a cunt for taking shots at Belichick.
I'm all for bashing Kraft about things where he deserves it. Choosing Belichick over Brady should be mentioned anytime he starts talking about the mistakes of others, his love of the team, and many other topics, for example, as should his idiocy in "taking one for the team" on every freakin' penalty occasion, whenever an appropriate time for that arises. And there are, obviously, other reasons to bash the man.
I just don't see the need to jump on a bandwagon being built by media members in order to push up their listener numbers.
Shouldn't they just have brought back Montgomery instead? Why should the new guy get someone who might actually play the position when Jones didn't get that luxury?
Something thought, and said, by roughly 100% of Patriots fans, observers, and employees, and even by the homers who won't admit it when talking to others. I think that game, more than any other one thing, is where the worm turned for BB in New England.
Kraft let multiple firing offenses by Belichick pass over the years. It doesn't mean that he didn't have a negative take about them (spygate with the "schmuck" comment is the most obvious example).

guessing you mean the camera thing. not sure what else...but thinking he cost your team a championship should be the last straw and all the more
of a comment by him if he did feel there were other firable offenses.

Spygate was absolutely a firing offense. He'd been warned by the league, but did it anyway. Burning that second round pick on JAG was a firing offense, at least on the GM side of things. Throwing Brady under the bus during deflategate, at least arguably, a firing offense. Refusing, year after year, after year, to properly address the need for another WR, something which may well have cost the team multiple super bowls, was at elast arguably a firing offense for BB the GM. As for 2017, it's obvious that Kraft didn't view that as the final straw, quite possibly because they had just won the SB the year before. Kraft didn't look at Gronk being driven to retirement as the final straw. And there are probably other examples that I'm forgetting about at the moment. Hell, Kraft didn't even view pushing Brady out as the final straw. And even hiring the two clown coordinators as the OCs wasn't enough for Kraft to make the move. It took the complete ruination of the potential QBOTF (based on him being taken at #15), and the practical bottoming out of the franchise after years of terrible drafting and general decision making, to get Kraft to pull the plug.
So Kraft should be hammered for not pulling the plug earlier, no question in my mind. Giving a multi-SB winner some leeway makes sense, but it ended up going way beyond that. I mean, even if you want to give the benefit of the doubt for everything prior, when the choice came down to BB v. TB, going with TB should have been the obvious call.
But, again, none of that means that Kraft was on board, fine, or comfortable with those decisions. It just means that he gave Belichick a lot of leeway, likely because of the years of success overall, which is what most people have said he should have been doing.
