1. The Patriots are about to give Gonzo a roughly $35MM/yr contract, and NEXT year give Drake a roughly (we hope) $65MM/year deal. So, say next year's cap jumps to $330MM per team, am I the only one worried we are giving one third of our cap money to just TWO players? As salaries explode for star individuals, I wonder at what point the bottom 2/3rds of the roster revolt as their earning potential shrinks, while their a few of their teammates get ever higher percentages of the cap. It will be harder and harder to justify the ever-increasing number of players to risk their future health for less and less of the pie. Kind of mirrors our current economy, right.

When the players are as good as Drake and Gonzo, I don't worry too much about it. They could be the Colts paying big money to Daniel Jones and Sauce Gardner or something. At least the players are in contention for best in the league at their positions.

American football will always be a weird spectacle the more it tries to modernize enshittify itself.

FIFY.

I get so many people have this romanticized view of Tonga - but the reality is that he was only good for about 5 games, and then just fell off a cliff - and then he got hurt.

Got hurt then fell off. He played good football and pats could have had a good player at great value and threw it away for less than a half a mil. Very belicheck like with jacobi and how many others. Even if just for short yardage and goalline plays it was objectively worth it.

He wasn’t in the room, so he got that from someone with an ax to grind. It has no credibility because of that. His only reason to publish it was to stir ****.
