Maybe NO should have made another splash move to get into the SB as Brees' career comes to a close, but there were no FA referees available. They are all signed by the Pats and franchise tagged when their contracts expire.

NE takes a conservative approach? I don’t see that at all. NE takes risks all the time. Admittedly it’s not always in free agency, but they are far from conservative. Hell, most people would consider Belichick a mediocre drafter. He finds players wherever. And he takes risks doing it. Pitt I’ll give you. It all looks to be crumbling down right now, but they’ve been conservative and had long term success. Why didn’t you mention Thompson’s Packers? They followed the conservative approach and have had an elite QB.
