Yeah it is kind of funny because Belichek didn't know Andrew Luck had retired for a few days, but had a contract (and likely a complex one) written up for Brown in less than 6h? I certainly think there was stuff behind the scenes with the Pats in the last day or two.
And, how does this change the attitude of certain players when their contracts are up? You can be a terrible self entitled, selfish teammate all offseason and camp, with disregard, and you'll possibly get your way and still be rewarded. It won't work 9 times out of 10, but it will give players the guts to try it, again, the downfall being it being a distraction to the team and disrespect to the teammates and fan base.
