Winning the Super Bowl is like a 40 grand payday and that's it, other than bragging rights. They aren't going to trade that and take a contract that pays them less to play just to go to a contender, unless they are nearing the end of their career and have already made their millions.

Agreed. I think it's usually more of the 10 year veteran types that have had 2-3 big contracts that are more willing to sign cheap deals with contenders. An extra $200-500k per year means a lot more for the late round/UDFA guys going into their second contract.
