More than anything they trade them...Wilfork, Seymour, Branch, Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins, Matt Cassell and I am sure a lot more. They let plenty walk also...Possibly Hightower this year, Mankins and the other LBer last year. Of course, the Patriots have the advantage both ways, other teams seek their players and players want to come play there for a chance at a ring.
The Pats shouldn't be used for any such comparisons. It just doesn't seem like it matters who they trot out, the machine just keeps rolling.
Normal teams don't have it so easy. They need good players.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
