Missed the playoffs for the first time since 2009 and suffered more defeats than wins – the first season after Brady left was a disaster for the New England Patriots!
The club, used to success, is now obviously panic. And spends an unusually large amount of money on new players!
The New England Patriots have brought in the two stars Matthew Judon and Jonnu Smith as well as Jalen Mills in the first hours in which players without a contract (free agents) can be signed. The club had already extended with star quarterback Cam Newton on Friday.
These four players alone can collectively earn up to 122 million euros in the next few years. Football expert Warren Sharp does the math: In the past ten (!) Years, Patriots trainer Bill Belichick (68) has spent a little more than 300 million euros on free agents …
Belichick is actually a saver, prefers to buy several players for little money. After the bad season, now the strategy change.
And does someone still want to prove that he can win without Brady? Pretty sure!
Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady (43) are considered one of the most successful coach / quarterback duos in NFL history. Together they won the Super Bowl 6 times. Brady left the New England Patriots last year – allegedly also because he felt too little appreciation.
Brady proved in his first year at the new club that he can also do without Belichick: The quarterback spectacularly won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (31: 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs).
The best football player of all time for many now wants to defend the title. The Buccaneers, with Brady’s approval, use a trick on the quarterback’s salary. The idea: more money for other players to win the Super Bowl again!
For example, Tampa Bay has held Shaquil Barrett. The top defender earns up to $ 72 million in four years.
