It's perfectly okay for a guy in Seattle to say, "I was hoping to work for Microsoft, but Amazon offered me more."

 

But in football, there's a tradition of pretending it's not about the money.  Players like to cite all sorts of reasons for choosing a team rather than crassly admitting, "Team X offered more."  

 

When the average NFL career lasts a mere 3.3 years, most players get paid while they can.  I think it's rare for a player turn down the highest offer - whether the team is a contender or not.  

my boss is gonna be shocked when he hears I'm in this for the money
