Nothing wrong with what they did. I was reading it can hurt a locker room etc. Well the players who are there the following season, and if they can nail a top draft pick..and said draft pick is killing it for them..think they will even give one **** about tanking a game? Doubtful.
Also, if Bill had mailed it in, with Kraft on board and went 1-15 and TL was here, or he went 2-14...and got Fields etc, nobody on the team would be complaining if he was helping them win games almost instantaneously. Let's say I'm a pro athlete with 3 years left on my contract. I don't care how nice Cam is, but we have no QB, and even then no weapons for said QB. We have a line, a stable of badass backs...so for the best team for my future a top 5 pick is crucial. Otherwise there is a dark abyss that I am staring into. Yeah I'm getting paid but I want to win. Picking 15th doesn't get me that.
