But off the top of my head I know they paid Gronk, Hernandez, Edelman, McCourty, Hightower. They just never got bent over on a deal.
They weren’t afraid to let a guy see what he was truly worth and many times, it didn’t seem enough for them to leave.

Yeah, I just don't remember those guys making the highest salary per their positions. Nothing extreme. Gronk would have deserved it at least.
