I look at it like this: Bell wants $40M guaranteed. If he plays this whole year under the tag he gets $14.5M, but if he gets injured at any point it's very unlikely his next contract would include $26M in guarantees to equal the $40M (14.5+26) he feels he's worth. So if he sits for 10 weeks and gets only 7/17ths of his $14.5M ($5.99M) tender, it's still a better deal considering he only has to play half a season (50% reduction in wear and tear, similar reduction in injury likelihood) imo. He loses about $8.5M this season but makes up the difference 5x on the new deal. People who hold out and don’t get themselves in perfect shape always get some type of nagging injury when they come back.

Chuck Wagon Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 He's not coming back this year. At this point it would be stupid for him to come back. He's not going back to a "bell cow" role the way Conner has played and if he did get hurt this year he's out the ~$10 mil he'll have lost in this year salary, plus his future deal. He'll sit out the whole year and dare the Steelers to tag him again.

It sounds like they put some decent deals on the table. He should have just taken their $60 million contract in 2017. Seriously. Why? That's not what he wanted. He's not getting used up. He will get his contract from someone. The Steelers have a good player in Connor. Win-win.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I can't see any team paying him over 60 mil but their are a lot of variables in how much is guaranteed and how the contract is structures. 60 mil seems like the most money a RB will get in the NFL. Anyone know what Shadys contract is off the top of their head Todd Gurleys 60 mil deal had 45 of it Guaranteed. The Steelers deal had to be close to this, Bell will loose money because of this big time.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Beane throw tons of money at Bell and spinning it that it fills multiple holes.

I would love to have Bell, but I don’t think his me first attitude fits McDermott
jr1 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Bell looks like a system RB with Conner putting up similar numbers 2

They would only tag him to break his balls---make him sign the tender before another team could sign him.
