Are they declining? Hell no. Your team will win when the chosen ones score 30 less points but give up far fewer chances and goals.
That’s maturing. Not ‘peaking’.

Thing is it's not like Brady can give up 30 points.
This isn't a 100 point forward becoming an 80 points forward due to him becoming more defensively responsible.
Brady is a 50 point per 82 GP forward to this point of his career, who has already been bad defensively.
If he has to drop to a 40 point player to become better defensively then this contract still won't age well at all.
