Okay, you think money is the one and only factor in where a player signs. That is obviously incorrect, but sure, run with that bit of nonsense.

Its all a part of it. They have lawyers, financial advisors and a host of family/friends that want to make sure player X keeps his money (and their freeloading) high and tight. An extra 46K on every million does add up.

Yeah no one argued it was the rule. The OP never said that nor did anyone in this thread. So again all you did is be purposefully obtuse regarding the point and then when called out on that fact, you created a strawman to refute.
Please quote the posts prior to post 29 and 63 where anyone said NFL players signing with preferred teams for less money is the rule?
And this is where your being obtuse comes on. The OP was referring to the Bears not the Jets or Skins. Further, once again no one ever claimed it was all players or even most players that do this. So who are you actually debating with?
Everywhere you go, strawmen seem to follow.

Players go where the money is. I’ve honestly not heard a player demand more from a team because they were bad. We as fans sometimes make that inference because of contracts given out. Usually it is the bad teams trying to pay for talent.
HHCD probably came here because he will be surrounded by a great defense and earn a better contract because of it.
I guess you could infer Chicago is a “destination” from that.
At the end of the day it is mostly about money.

Well at least you are willing to admit is about more than just money, baby steps. Better than Rory.
The idea that money is the only consideration where every NFL FA signs is laughable.

Or lack of options, the good organizations don't want them. That's why it was so critical that Nagy turned things around so fast, break that cycle.
We suck so a lot of good players don't want to come here, so we suck, so a lot of good players...
Bad teams are forced overpay for average players. A few years ago nobody wanted to play for the Rams, Jeff Fisher, team sucked, St. Louis. Now, LA, team is ready to win, great young coach.
Teams have been stuck in the failure cycle for decades, it is nice to be a fan of a team that is finally gotten out of that shit.
