NFL players are well compensated for the risks they knowingly take. The contract Bell would have signed would have given him more than enough money to afford basically anything he wants and set his family up for decades. I will say it is perplexing that they make less than MLB and NBA players despite the sport being Americas most popular and way more physical sport but they are still paid very well. IMO people are missing an important point with this situation. I believe this goes beyond the contract I think he hates being a Steeler. I don't think he likes playing there or with his teammates for whatever reason. That's why this is going the way it is. If it was just about money he'd been back by now. He made his point missing anymore time won't give him a better contract. At this point he is just giving the Steelers the middle finger out of hate. Either way the situation was handled poorly by both sides. The Steelers offense is doing fine wout him but Steelers should have seen this coming and got rid of the guy before this happened instead of constantly using the franchise tag. If a player isn't happy playing somewhere for whatever reason he should be allowed to leave when his contact is up. I'm not a fan of the franchise tag for this very reason. Gives teams more power over players and it doesn't work because eventually the player usually ends up leaving anyway or something like this happens. Sorry for the longass post should have made it shorter but **** it. Did a lot of blow last night stuff makes me talk too much. Last edited by PAChiefsGuy; 11-11-2018 at 07:09 AM.. |

Lol Good Lord, man. How much money does anyone need?
People like to get paid what they're worth- surprise! You're worth what someone will pay you. Leveon obviously believes someone out there (probably IND or NYJ) will pay him more than the $30m guaranteed the Steelers offered. |

Problem is he will need to make $14MM more in guaranteed money than he was offered prior to this season for him to maximize anything.

He’s also trying to get OBJ money. Also douchey because he isn’t worth that. Is douchey a crime or even something we should be concerned with? No other than some of the knuckleheads on our time might get some bright idea. Quote:

You’re right. Holding out is the only power the individual player has over the team. Doesn’t mean it’s not douchey and guys that let that sway their judgement of said player are off base. There is an argument to be made that what he is doing goes outside of the legislative intent of the CBA. I’d doubt the union had this in mind when they agreed to it. Moreover, if they truly care about the players interest (not sure they do) dudes holding out for money isn’t working so well. Kaepernick is a prime example, but also dez (I might be wrong but I think he was offered contracts that he thought were too low and ended up on the street at final cutdown). And let’s be real here, in practical this probably lowers some of the offers he’s going to get which is bad for the union. He’s going to get paid but he’s also probably got some bids pulled by being a douche. |

TVM is without question a part of any Economics curriculum. Without TVM the concepts of economic cost or economic profit are meaningless.

On the micro side, it’s just human decision making so my professors stayed out of the psychology end and just stayed conceptual. OR It was a a big part of the curriculum and I just don’t remember because it was a million years ago |

Granted, I have degrees in Econ, Math, and did a cross disciplinary actuarial program, so I took classes in the Econ, Math, Finance, and Business departments, all of which covered TVM. Which departments stressed it more is probably a bit hazy for me. |

I would like to see the rule changed so that you can't use the franchise tag on a player a second time.
Given how short RBs careers tend to be, I think RBs should have shorter rookie contracts. |
