You are trying to put words in my mouth that I did not say. I said Bell could have handled the situation better but I also defended him saying Steelers could have as well and that Bell holding out is probably about more than money.

It goes both ways as far as Bell having the right to holdout to hopefully get paid what he thinks he is worth. Guess what? The Steelers don't have to pay him what he wants if they don't feel he is worth it.

Uh, gee. Ya think?

We don't know that.

According to this article, Rapoport reported that the Steelers offered Bell a 5 year $70m contract with just $10m guaranteed. That is absolutely horrible.

Dude's gonna sign a mega contract this offseason for like $50m guaranteed with one less NFL season of wear and tear and look like a ****ing genius.

Surprised it took that long. That was the most blatantly racist thing I've seen outside of DC in a long time.

Got a week off as well.

What team who needs a RB has a QB on a rookie deal who can pay a RB stupid money?

I mean, this is a strange argument you're making. Of course that money is gone. He didn't sign the tag so he never earned it. But the idea is for him to recoup that loss in future earnings while not risking further injury and damaging the potential to cash out on said future earnings.

He could have signed the initial contract offer and suffered a career ending injury then he'd only earn $10m in the long run.

He could have signed the franchise tag and suffered a career ending injury and only earned $14m.

Or he could sit out this season, avoiding all risk of further injury, and sign a mega contract worth far, far more than that initial lowball offer the Steelers put on the table. In this case, he's likely to make back that $14m plus more in just guaranteed dollars alone.

I'm not saying it'd be smart for any team to pay him.

I'm saying someone WILL pay him.

Maybe. He could possibly get it back in guarantees from the next team, or more security in future years to gain a boost in base pay as it'll be cost prohibitive to cut him.

Will be interesting to see what he gets in an open market.

He just forgot what forum he was posting in apparently. Gotta type that sorta stuff in the DC safe space to get away with it.

That's not accurate. There was a $10 million signing bonus, but also another $10 million due within days of signing. So, unless they were going to cut him right after signing him, it was really $20 million guaranteed. The reports are ambiguous after that. Apparently, he was going to be getting $47 million over the first 3 years. So really, that was the value of the deal. Which still seems awfully good to me.
