For years players came to New England to play
with Brady- and swallowed the unpleasantries that came with Belichick along the way. With Brady gone the franchise mystique has evaporated. On top of a gaping hole at QB they have two of their best OL who are UFA not to mention 7-8 other starters.
There has been a lot of discussion here in Boston about whether Belichick will understand he has to open the team's wallet and competitively pay for free agents in ways they have refused to for years in order to attract talent.
I'm telling you, if fans had been allowed in this season Gillette Stadium would have been 1/3 empty the final two games of the year.
