In the NFL, you usually, if built right, have a good team capable of going far for three to four years, but within that a couple years, at most, of a solid SB team.
But, then players want to get paid for that success or move on. Either way it weakens the team, either losing the player or losing cap space. Coordinators leave.
Detroit will be ok next year. Johnson can write his ticket to most anywhere he wants, Glenn will take the fall for the defense.
But they will lose a few more games the next regular season, and then will be a wildcard team, maybe playing on the road, as opposed to a bye week at home as was this year. That extra game, that feeling of not being as solid and smooth as this season, may affect them.
