Other teams have the same problem(s)... we just don't hear about it.
The Ravens' method is to purge every few years. Then, they have a 5-11 season. And then, they try again. Next year will be an easy purge, since Lewis, Reed, & Birk are all retiring.
The Chargers simply allow all if their best player to walk; they don't pay anyone (except LT).
The Taperiots also do not sign anyone, except Brady & Welker... & Wilfork. That's why their defense is a rotation of young players... who never seem to be "great" (but, are good & cheap).
Et cetera.
