This is purely false. If you are getting older and declining in skills, then you are not going to break the bank with the Pats and I am fine with that. If you are young, up and coming skill wise and play a valuable position, they willl pay you the money. Just ask Seymour, Brady, Dillon (to some extent 2 season ago), Koppen, Light, etc.

In general, I have no problem with this strategy. It's needed to succeed year in and year out. However, Samuel hits the young, hitting prime, and valuable position categories, and so he should be kept.
