Many players care more about the money. They'll sign the biggest contract, even if for a shit team.

It's football.

If you aren't a quarterback, blink and your career is over. Get paid.

Yep. Not saying it's a bad move, just pointing out that many players want to get paid more than they want to win.

Most players rhat have the luxury to choose between getting a bigger payday or playing to win a title are already the top of the top.

Everyone else is just trying to get the most they can, which is what anyone would do in that position.

As they should. I’m not trying to get employee of the month, I want the biggest paycheck.

A Super Bowl ring is a great memory and a cool story to talk about a couple decades down the road. But I’d rather talk about a 8-9 season from my winter home.

Oh yeah, I wasn't meaning to be contrarian. More just supplementing.

Shit, especially if you're a guy like Bobby Wagner. He's won a Superbowl, and he's been to two. What's left to prove?

Even if you are a quarter back. Most players don't sign a second contract.
