I'm not wrong. It's what the Patriots did last season and it's what they will do again, you don't commit long term and break the bank for a 43 year old QB. We didn't do it last year and we are not this year which why this is an actual episode of Brady potentially not being here next year.
By doing it last year, they needlessly pissed off the QB and put themselves in the middle of an Italian opera. That's led to "Brady potentially not being here next year", when the QB can obviously still play at a high/elite level, which is why your argument doesn't hold up logically. If the reports are true, they could have signed him for 2/$50m, and avoided all of this.
Not doing so was stupid (I acknowledge that a re-think of this position would be necessary if those reports turned out to be erroneous, and he had been demanding 4 years at $30m+).
