One would indeed think so. But every now and then, a player gets a big head and thinks he is so much better than those other guys that he doesn't need to compete with them on price.
We tend to hear about these guys in those cases where they turn down a multi-year contract extension for millions per season, and then the next year they're going from camp to camp looking for a PTO. Oops.
