Sure, professional athletes care about winning, but are there any fans of pro sports who are still naive enough to think that it isn't about the cha-ching?
"Show me the money" isn't just a line from a famous movie—it's reality for many athletes who enter the free agency process.
But in a sport like football, can we really blame them?
On average careers are much shorter for NFL players than the other major sports, and the long-term consequences of playing in the league can be severe—sometimes even debilitating.
There are always exceptions, of course, but for the most part we know who is in it for the money, fame and glory, and which players actually care about getting the ring.
It is with this thought in mind that I present to you the list of the 2011 NFL free agents who saw dollar signs rather than shiny diamond rings in their future.
