I also realize that if they tagged him this year and let him walk next year, they'd be in the exact same boat. If he retired next year, they'd be in the same boat.
The Brady instance is just silly. The 49'ers let Montana go because they had Young. The Packers let Favre go because they had Rodgers. The Colts let Manning go because they could get Luck. If I thought Garrapolo was my next franchise QB, I let Brady walk. If I don't, and I had just won the SB, Id hold onto him and try to get another ring. However, look around the league and the successful teams don't hold on too long, and they certainly don't FT linemen in their mid 30's.
If I was MB, and I trusted the word of some fans on the internet who have never won a preseason game and likely never will over the word of one of my coaches whose salary I pay, that coach shouldn't be working for me anymore.
......and yet a couple of them still do.....one from as far back as the lost decade. You said a mouthful there.....
