The NFL is about as competitive a league as you will find anywhere in sports, and that means that even some all-time great players have finished their careers without a championship ring.
Dan Marino, Barry Sanders and many more ended their playing careers without tasting the ultimate success in their sport, even if they were among the very best to ever play the game.
With the liberalisation of Free Agency in the 1990s, the idea of moving to a competitive team later in your career to "ring chase" has become more and more common.
With former Atlanta Falcons All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones joining the level Super Bowl favourite Philadelphia Eagles, we take a look at some of the other Hall of Fame-calibre players to have gone ring chasing.
Deion Sanders
Beginning his career with the Atlanta Falcons, Neon Deion switched to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys explicitly because he wanted to win championships. He tried to join the Oakland Raiders for a playoff run in the 2000 season but was unable to clear waivers in time.
He came out of retirement to try for one more ring with the Baltimore Ravens in 2005 before retiring in 2006.
Reggie White
Reggie White played eight seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles before making the switch to Green Bay in 1993. The move paid off with a Super Bowl title in 1997.
He also came out of retirement for one last run in 2000 with the Carolina Panthers but missed the playoffs altogether.
Rod Woodson
Long time Pittsburgh Steeler Rod Woodson turned down more money from other teams to sign with NFC power San Francisco in 1997. With his new team he reached the Divisional round before being defeated by Green Bay. The following off season he made the switch to Baltimore and was rewarded with a Super Bowl ring in 2000.
Charles Woodson
Charles Woodson had probably already achieved Hall of Fame status with his career in Oakland where he set franchise records for forced fumbles and passes defended, but with the Raiders fading into obscurity in the mid 2000s, he went looking elsewhere for a title. Joining Green Bay, Woodson added a Super Bowl to his long list of accolades in 2010. He returned for three more years in Oakland before retiring.
Peyton Manning
After the neck injury that ended his glittering Indianapolis Colts career, Peyton Manning took his time picking his next team. As an unrestricted free agent, he toured various teams before deciding on the Denver Broncos. Although the humiliation in Super Bowl XLVIII seemed to indicate that maybe Manning had made the wrong call, he got his second career ring two years later before riding off into the sunset.
Darrelle Revis
After spending the first five years of his career - four of which were at a Pro Bowl level - trying to stop the New England Patriots as a New York Jet, Darrelle Revis changed sides in 2014 (admittedly with a stop in Tampa in between). He got his ring after helping the Pats defeat the reigning champion Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl in 2015 before heading right back to the Jets. He joined the rising Kansas City Chiefs for one more run, but they fell at the first hurdle in the playoffs.
Randy Moss
Already on a Hall of Fame track after six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, wide receiver Randy Moss moved to the Oakland Raiders in 2006. It was a mismatch from day one and Moss made constant noise about wanting to move to a contender. He was traded to the New England Patriots and shone as they almost went undefeated, losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. Moss made a comeback with San Francisco in 2012, only to lose in the Super Bowl again.
Tom Brady
When Tom Brady left the New England Patriots, he wanted to land with a winner. Half of the teams in the NFL courted him, or at least considered making a move, but he went with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While success of any kind had eluded the Bucs since their 2002 Super Bowl win, they were kind of stacked. Brady recruited hard to help fill the remaining gaps on the roster and helmed them to the title, defeating a murderer's row of quarterbacks including Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes en route to his seventh title; more than any other player or even any franchise in the NFL.
