I'm starting to think, since Bell is getting more attention now than he has in his entire Jets tenure, he's just not going to sign with anyone and bask in the spotlight all season.

It is an account that tweets out fake stories...he sent out and then deleted tweets saying Bell signed with the Chiefs and Dolphins also.

 

Nope, Holland

People need to go to his account and kick his butt,  total loser with nothing better to do but fake reports.

What a strange hobby for a guy to have

What happens if he doesnt sign with anyone and stays at home in Florida and the Jets pay him the owed $6M?

 

 Good question.  "working from home", as he kind of would be--he would likely be liable for NJ state income tax (unless the Jets open an office in FLA that he worked in).. but if he lives in FLA (not NJ) 365 dyas a year, I think he would be refunded the tax by NJ--even if he wasn't "working".

so you don't think he has any game to bring to the table or is he a potential locker room cancer is that why?  I'm curious you thoughts

I don't think he is much of an impact player anymore, and I think the risk in terms of distraction is definitely greater than the reward.

So a player gets to pay tax at a zero rate on 50% of his comp  (8 home games in Florida or Nevada) and a blended rate on the other 8 games. The difference between the top marginal NY rate and the Florida rate is north of 8%. On Bell's contract that's a big number. I don't know how the Bills compensate for that since anything they pay just reduces what the Jets pay. There must be mechanism otherwise the Bills could not be competitive with Miami financially.

 

 

Good question.  The Bills could offer him 7 million, I guess.

that looks real trustworthy as source. 135 followers

Wrong and you need to apologize. Poop Platter aka Hood Gorilla is one of the most trusted sources of news in the business.  He’s the next Schefter.

So then the Jets pay 7m less instead of 6mm. You would have to take over the Jets contract and then add the adjustment for the difference in taxes on an after tax basis. 

This can't be right otherwise I don't see how the Bills could even be in the room with him.

So just to clarify, this does become a bidding war if he wants it to? So NJ is on the hokk for $5.5 or 6M, whatever, regardless of the contract from the new team. The new team contract is all net new income for him? 

Am I reading this right?

Why did the Jets cut him?

 

Previous GM signed him. Gase never wanted him and he never wanted to play for Gase.

Not gonna be so funny when they suck their way into Trevor Lawrence.  

 

The Jets will ruin him too. And Im not too impressed with Lawrence in general. He's hardly the best QB prospect from the last few years.
