I don't get why guys want to do this when their skills are declining. The team you've been with is far more likely to offer you a better deal than anyone else out there just cause of a sense of loyalty. The same thing happened with Thurman Thomas and Andre Reed after the 1999 season. They were asked to take a paycut and demanded a release. Wound up signing for less than they would have got had they taken the paycut and went onto stellar seasons with Miami (136 rushing yards for Thomas) and Washington (103 receiving yards for Reed).
