HOUSTON — Tom Brady looked exhausted. Bill Belichick was quiet.
The best quarterback in the history and perhaps the best strategist in the history of the NFL had just contrive the victory more amazing for the New England Patriots by 34-28, in overtime over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI, in which the Patriots scored 31 consecutive points. It was the comeback largest in Super Bowl history and one of the best in the history of the league.
Together, Brady and Belichick have won five Super Bowls in seven appearances and they have 11 games of the conference championship. But a look at them after the match was worthy of their respective styles. Belichick is viewed as a coach and leader ready to be rolled up the sleeves and start the preparations for the next run to the Super Bowl. Brady looked like a quarterback ready to take a break of a week or two and then start working for next season.

Mentally, it seems that the work has already started. Brady already foreshadowed to the Patriots that you would like to play at least three more seasons. Belichick is already thinking about the next run and you already have in mind how it will look ek roster of the future.
Now came the time for New England to begin your attempt to get his sixth championship.
While the chances of an immediate return to the Super Bowl are few, it is not entirely outside of reality. The Patriots are in good position to finish 4-2 or 5-1 in the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills made a coaching change after a season of 7-9. The Miami Dolphins won 10 games with a stunning gentle in which we won only a team with a mark of .500 or better. Your itinerary the next year will be more difficult. The New York Jets fell from 10 wins to five and will be starting a process of reconstruction.
The reason why he said that Belichick has already started to work with the next run to the Super Bowl is because in the last year has made moves calculators to find their owners. Changed the defensive lineman Pro Bowl, Chandler Jones, to the Arizona Cardinals by a selection of the second round in 2016. The Patriots fell turndo in the Draft and ended up with Joe Thuney in the third round, and Malcolm Mitchell in the fourth round.
Thuney was holder in 16 games as a lineman. Mitchell caught 32 passes for 401 yards in the regular season, to 70 yards with six caught in the Super Bowl, which makes it a bargain. The Patriots have had failures of high-profile with its wings open, but Mitchell seems to be real. Rather than wait until 2018 and get a selection compensatory third-round linebacker James Collins, who is expected to be out after the season, the Patriots got a selection compensatory third-round for 2017 to change it to the Cleveland Browns.
So Belichick planned to the future and got three selections in two draws and got players that very well may be the owners.
Understand that Belichick has more experience than anyone in the history of the NFL at the management level in terms of dealing with the effects of winning a Super Bowl. In trying to keep a team together, because success can be the enemy. The opponents they want to make players earn Super Bowl because they are winning, and the Patriots have been that other teams use to measure success.
All one has to do is listen to the reaccióm post-match wing closed Martellus Bennett, who came to the Patriots in a change before the season 2016, and now becomes a free agent.
“I’m going to free agency as a champion of Super Bowl,” Bennett said. “They know that they will pay more for championships of Super Bowl”.
Jones and Collins were the champions of the Super Bowl two years ago. Collins signed a four-year contract uy $ 50 million with the Browns last month. It is expected that Jones is finished with the label of franchise in ARizona, and a salary of $ 15.3 million.
The Patriots have 14 free agents without restrictions, and big decisions to make. Bennett could command a salary of between $ 7 and $ 9 million on the open market. Cornerback Logan Ryan between $ 8 and $ 9 million. That’s a problem for the Patriots because they also have to pay their best cornerback, Malcolm Butler, who is a free agent with restrictions that will probably get a settlement of between $ 10 and $ 12.5 million.
linebacker Dont a Hightower might be the free agent that will get the larger contract. You should get at least $ 12 million per season. The salary cap prevents teams stay, with all the players, and no one knows that better than the Patriots.
“I believe that I’ll have to decide if I’m going to be on this team or not next year,” said Hightower. “Right now I’m going to enjoy this and celebrate, then I’ll take a few weeks to relax and see what happens.”
The Patriots have a little more than $ 60 million in space under the salary cap after signing players of the team of practice, but much of that money will go fast. Butler should receive a contract. There is still a debate whether to retain Khabaal Sheard. LeGarrette Blount, Brandon Bolden, Alan Branch, James Develin, Duron Harmon, Chris Long, Barkevious Mingo, Greg Scruggs and Sebastian Vollmer among other free agents.
Taking into account that the Patriots are likely to lose four or five of that list, you will be in a position to get selections compensatory in 2018, with the hope of getting headlines of the future or players of a specific role.
That means that the Patriots will be a bit more young and with so much depth at some positions. That could cause the Patriots to go for a team of 14 career victories at one of 12 victories, which is still very good. Will be in posicit to make a patch Not. 1 or Not. 2 in the 2017 in the quest to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl LII.
