In fact, it is the stated reason Marvin Jones left, because even though Cincy offered him the same money Detroit did, he could grow his "Brand" easier in a larger market like Detroit. More jersey sales, more advertising and endorsement deals, more exposure that will lead to post career opportunities. Face it, outside of Cincinnati most of our team are unknowns. As a free agent, the perfect team to go to would be a larger market team in a city with low taxes.
Ipso Facto the big market teams players make more than small market teams giving the big market teams an unfair advantage.
