Yeah it looks like a full on "blow it up and start over". Marshall and Decker were phenomenal for them in 2015. The Fitzpatrick standoff cost them dearly last year, and I guess they just decided to save a ton of money and start over. I'd say Revis and Mangold are likely shells of their former selves, while Marshall was probably cut due to age/salary and Decker due to injury.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
