And that's exactly why Belichick doesn't play the game with players. If he'd tagged Flowers and had him hold out, not only is that a distraction to his team, it undermines who is in charge.
The Cowboys have the rep of paying the stars, why shouldn't one hold out when they have the history of blinking even under the threat of a holdout? And just my opinion, but Booger is hot hot for the triplets, I believe he thinks that was what really delivered those rings. And it's not helping with almost every analyst saying they can't win without Elliott.
But this situation is different because he has learned from some of those mistakes and he knows that "we can sign everybody" is radio fluff from his son. If they can't keep everybody, they've got some really tough calls to make and unfortunately, most will come from the D side.
And this isn't aided by the lack of RB buzz coming out of camp.
When you have Brady, Brees or Rodgers you are able to go average at rb and wr.
