But it does.  A GM who actually needs to get value for a player who may walk out the door the next year might take a 2nd rounder for McCarron while a GM who doesn't need to worry about getting fired can pull the "My way or the highway" shtick that led to the Browns pulling the plug, or hemming and hawing until the buzzer.

Don't get me wrong, the NFL is full of examples of GMs who were going to get fired who made terrible decisions because they had nothing to lose, too.
