What is sad is you being a self-proclaimed know it all who has show you don't know ANYTHING. I can guarantee you that at the very least BOR, Patriots-80, myself and several others in this thread know more about football than you have shown.
Yes, we DO know how they treat their players. We also know that Deion Branch is a friggin LIAR. So, please don't bother mentioning his name.
The Patriots aren't turning into a team that develops players and then shows them the door and its pure ignorance on your part ot say so. All I have to do is mention Matt Light, Dan Koppen, Richard Seymour and Tom Brady and your WHOLE ARGUMENT goes to garbage.
The Patriots DO pay their players. But they have the SAME RULES for all the players. The rule is that they will give you an extension, but you still play out the last year of your rookie contract because you are going to get your signing bonus (or a majority of it) during that last year.
Again, you should really make it a point to know what you are talking about before opening your mouth and proving how stupid you are.
