Sellers are usually teams that are starting a rebuild. Unless it is a young player with an upside, these teams prefer zero salary back than some vet on whatever contract, especially multiyear. So it is pretty much clear, that you will pay less assets (or have a better chance of actually getting the player), if you offer zero salary back.

I am fully aware about TE limitations. Still, it doesn't mean it is not a good asset.
