Here is the thing with this philosophy...
If every team adopted this attitude...good players, whom have worked hard and have been told countless times their day will come for a large purse, will get marginalized into average player pay because no one wants to pay them their payday.
It's the same propaganda constantly on the internet, that side steps important info.
I don't think your philosophy is how things work anyway. Teams need a couple of guys that get fans tuned into games and those guys are expensive...also, there is no need to gyp good players out of money to raise the salary of the long snapper.
I'm all for players getting as much as they can...teams have avenues and accouting tricks to make things work year in and year out
