Not sure why anyone wants to emulate that.
I think people are talking about emulating spreading the money around, I.e., not paying any super star salaries except for QB.
Even if they got a good return for Jones, I don't see that as a viable system for any team that doesn't have the two critical pieces that the Pats have.
That's exactly right. There is no "Patriots Way" that any other team could emulate.
It's---have Bellichick and Brady on the same team.
That's it. Without that combo nothing else they do works.
And besides their way of casting off players like Jones meant they fielded a superbowl defense that could not stop Nick Foles.
