One of the largest obstacles to the Super Bowl is player health. Brady and any other star player would be stupid to sacrifice significant money in pursuit of the Super Bowl ... it's just plain dumb. Key players get injured and you played cheap for nothing. A salary reduction is the way to go ... especially if several vets agree to do it ... but this is a business and these players need to take care of the money first.
If one of the largest obstacles to the SB is health then the top players taking less money should improve the chances of winning in the case of injuries. The Pats are about as good an example of that as any team right now. That's why they keep making deep runs even though they might lose key players. Well, that and having Tom Brady at QB.
