Brady has kinda sorta done it with the Pats (at least somewhat because his wife's income dwarfs his), but even then it's mostly been around lots of team-friendly restructuring.
Beyond that, the issue is just that "team-friendly" deals are more in the range of 10% than 50%, so it's not as much of an impact as people would like it to be. If Pat had an offer on the table for $40m from another team, I can buy that he'd take $35m to stay with the Chiefs, but there's no way in hell he's taking $20m or whatever.
