Definitely. A lot of contenders only want rentals because they only want immediate help while having flexibility the following season to re-sign players, sign new free agents, or make more thought out long term trades. In fact, I think that is most of the time, so if they are getting additional years for a player on the wrong side of 30, I think it reduces the player's value.
