Bell didn’t get anything. He got paid no more than what he would have played for under his tag. Everyone wants to talk about how short of a lifespan a RB has in their career, but then want to justify them sitting out and missing a year of their career? Youve got to be kidding me. You people must be a special kinda of stupid.
And I am not missing anything about the teams signing the contracts. The teams and the players are agreeing to the guaranteed money. That’s on the player. If they think they are worth more, or should be worth more, then they should ask or demand more in guaranteed money.
If were here arguing about the rookie contracts, then it’s also the players fault because they voted for that in the CBA. And don’t get it confused, everyone wanted it at the tome. Owners, and players both.
