Never again can the Patriots to expect a player to take a home town discount after what happened to Brady and Welker. If the team is going to nickle and dime them then I expect players to do the same to the team. No longer will players put up with that bullbleep; they will pull a Welker. I don't blame Welker one bit; enough is enough.
As I reread your comment and a lot of the responses, my own view is that the problem is to some extent with what you said, but also even more with your tone. Some seem to be bringing other things you have written in other threads into the discussion, but I'll just deal with what you write here.
Your first sentence, "Never again..." runs contrary to the facts on the ground. The Krafts have been making these kind of decisions since 2003 when they jettisoned Lawyer Milloy; since then Vinatieri, Seymour, Samuel and others have re-enforced this pattern. Brady knew this when he took his home town discount a few years ago and he knew it this year. He still took it, and so may others in the future.
Your second sentence "If the team is going to nickle and dime..." is actually true, but would better have been put "If the team is going to act in what it perceives as its own best interest, even for a difference of less than two percent of their cap in a given year, it can only expect that the players will do the same." That's the same statement, just put in a less incendiary way.
Your third sentence, "No longer will players..." is your opinion and one that I might even share. However, I would put it "The Patriots have to know that they can't expect their players to do anything but act in their own self interest." Indeed, the Patriots act in their own self interest because players can be relied on to act in THEIR own self interest. Brady's case is extraordinary, both because the Patriots have enabled him to thrive over the years and because he is in the unique situation for an NFL player (let alone a Superstar) of not being the major earner in his household.
Your fourth sentence. I agree 100% with "I don't blame Welker one bit." I just don't think the tag line "...enough is enough" is warranted by the facts.
