One other thing people aren’t talking about...the NFL is clearly starting to mimic the NBA. Superstars can go where they want now. And superstars attract other superstars. You trade for Deshaun, renegotiate that contract, and then next thing you know his friends (Hopkins, Watt, etc) want to play with him again.
This is the new NFL. If a Lebron/Harden/Durant shows you love...you go ALL-IN and figure the details out later.
