LOL, I don't care if they're remembered or not. How it Tom Brady going to make Tampa money 10 years from now? Answer... he's not.
Sure they'll get remembered. But the team will be making money long after they're gone.
I don't even care about whether Brady has a rich wife or not. 25 year old Brady and 30 year old Brady thought exactly like every other 25-30 year old QB did...pay me my money. Paid first, win second.
As for Evans, has he taken the paycut, or has he merely "said" he would take a paycut. Lots of guys say a bunch of nonsense to get hype in the media, and most of them don't follow through. If I were a betting man, no paycut will happen. He'll restructure to get paid MORE, earlier, in exchange for a reduced salary cap.
AND if he did take a paycut... I still wouldn't be impressed. Why is he waiting until he made nearly $70M to discuss paycut? So in 2021 its about winning, but in 2018, it was about... what, exactly? When you signed an $82.5M contract at market value, was that about winning first? Why not take less then?
Money first, winning second. There are almost no examples that contradict this.
