The Pats are serious contenders, and find themselves in SBs so often because Brady take less than market value which allows Bellichick to build around him.

Drew Brees took a huge chunk of the cap, and the Saints have been mediocre or worse since.

Aaron Rodgers is the best in the league, but the Pack have not been able to advance since Rodgers got paid because they simply don't have the cap to keep enough talent surrounding him.

Not every team is allowed to pay their QB under the table.
