I know it's hard to believe anyone would be content knowing, at the career twilight, that the chance for a ring is slim, but it really depends on the player and the 'off the field' stuff.

I can see the logic of, well, yes, there are other teams that have a better chance for a ring, but nothing is guaranteed.  I like the community where I live and the off the field things I am involved in and prefer to retire here unless they tank me.

The other thing to consider is how many contending teams are a an offensive lineman away from a championship??

Yes, by all means, if Whit wants to stay, you do what it takes to make that happen.  If you don't there's nothing to you.  

You don't have to be a player away from a SB to take a flyer on a player this good.  NE didn't need the Ocho, but they took a shot anyway.
