I don't agree, players at a young age want to get paid and winners feel that they can win anywhere....TB had a ready made team and took advantage of a weird year. Brady was good, but was not anywhere near too great.....their defense was great, that's why they won. Back to to topic, I feel getting all there players back is just a coincidence and not setting the tone for the future.Coming off a Super Bowl and Tom Brady returning, I think it's a highly unique position that most players would want to be a part of if given the chance.
The Chiefs are about the only team that comes close in comparison right now in that respect.
You cannot apply that mindset to other teams, especially those who rarely get anywhere near a Super Bowl or that have unproven quarterbacks.

You basically answered your own question - short career, gotta get theirs while they can.The Bucs really did something remarkable this offseason by getting nearly everyone of their players and coaches to run it back, i think they lost only one player although i could be wrong though ! I am sure some players could have gotten far more money somewhere else lavonte David and Barret and Godwin ( franchise tagged ) come to mind .I am sure on some level Tom Brady had a little to do with it. Maybe some players had made their money already and are looking for rings now like Suh, Gronk and Brown !
Are we witnessing a change in the way players look at free agency and the whole money vs situation & championship thing ? or Is this an anomaly because of Tom Brady ?
I ask that to ask this
What are the chances this becomes a change in the way players look at their situation and championship chances if the Bucs were to go back to back ? I would love to see Gallop stay in all honesty and keep this offense together while continuing to build the D through the draft !
For the record - I am of the mind set players should get theirs when it comes to money since careers are so short But it would be a nice change to see more athletes do this ! Thoughts ?
death & taxes man .....the tax differences involved
