Ah so it’s only:
The Most important spot on the team
The Most important/second most important spot in the O-line
Gronk
A receiver who everyone knew was talented but was also a cancer
Their most prolific pass rusher
A strong DT
And their other most important pass rusher
But it’s not a team of mercenaries because of Evan’s, Godwin, Lavonte David, and maybe Wirfs?
Evans, Godwin, Miller, Johnson, Donovan Smith, Marpet, Wirfs, Brate, Howard (injured), Jones, Vea, Gholston, White, David, Davis, Winfield Jr, Dean, Murphy-Bunting
the vast majority of their contributors are homegrown... 4 of their 5 WR contributors, 3 of their 5 starting OL, 2 of their 3 receiving TEs, their starting RB, 2 of their 3 DTs, both of their starting LBs, all 5 of their 5 starting DBs
so the only position that isnt homegrown is QB and EDGE
like i get it QB is the most important spot on the team - but are you saying that you never liked the saints because Drew Brees was a free agent, what about the peyton manning broncos... what about ryan fitzpatrick on literally any team he's played for lol, trent dilfer won a superbowl for the ravens but wasn't homegrown either, nick foles on the eagles...
