You basically had the best QB of all time taking hometown discounts. Brady never had a contract that had a cap hit of more than 20m a year: in fact during his prime years in NE he was only making 10-15m a year.
It’s absurd how great of deal they got during all those years. Different times now. You have guys like Prescott taking up 25% of total cap which really restricts what a team can do and no way could repeat anything the Pats were able to do.

Disagree with Russ’ problems not being fixable. I think his problem this year was coaching. There’s no way he goes from his play in Seattle to a dud in Denver. The issue was a coach that couldn’t adjust his offense to tailor to his QBs strengths. Pete Carroll was a master at this. I mean look what he’s doing with Geno and how he’s getting the max out of him.
I was also thinking Tranquil to replace Edmunds. Not sure how much cheaper he would be. He’s also 4 years older than Edmunds. That’s the one thing people forget with Edmunds, he’s 4 years in and only 24. Still a lot of upside with him.
