A couple of issues here. Hudson wanted out of Vegas because he was frustrated and wanted a chance to win. They agreed to get him out so he could, my guess is they asked him about being cool with going to Arizona, I doubt he was okay with coming to a team in the top 5 of the draft. Trent Brown was in a similar situation, he wanted to get back to NE so he goes there and straight up lowers his salary to help them out.
You could say, players don't have a choice but the reality is Brown only had a year on the deal and Hudson could retire so in the end it would have been a year of disgruntled players and then potentially nothing. The other issue is 30 million in salary isn't exactly nothing, and back to the other point they weren't necessarily going to do you any favors in helping on the cap numbers. This isn't Madden and there are actual personalities at play in these things, so while on paper they can make sense there are some serious hurdles to ideas like this.
