That used to be a problem, but now it's swung the other way. Patriots fans in 2019-2021 used to pretend they were Bill Belichick and want value deals and say "nah that's an overpay". Now Patriots fans have swung on the other side of the pendulum and ant a huge overpay for everyone who sniffs the market.
People saw Thuney's contract with the Chiefs way back when and were like "nah had to move on, way too much". Now they see a Thuney in decline who is going to be 33 and want to give him the bag.
There's a medium.
