Kerry on my wayward son, there'll be peace when you are done
Top 5 pick next year.
He is a better Bell. Faster, stronger, better looking, less drugs and less holding out.
I'm all in in all leagues. don't miss the rocket ship, limited seats available..........
most players would love a guaranteed $15M and a chance at lucrative free agency after. you know who doesn't? a player that knows he is almost done and wants guaranteed money. the fact that everyone is so concerned with guaranteed money tells me as a GM i would never give it to him. ...
Bell is cutting off his pee pee to spite his brain.
RB value is just not what he thinks it is. Steelers just doing what makes sense for them. He is throwing a tantrum but i don't think it is what is best for him.
If he could sit out the year and then be a free agent then yes this makes...
this guy gets it. gurley is a one off not a market rate. it was a dumb contract for the Rams but they can get away with it. bell and his agent are idiots if they hold out. his market rate is not what he thinks it is. market rate is not determined by production, it is determined by supply...
not all GMs are dumb enough to give a Gurley deal. I don't think 1 player makes the market. I would say Freeman is a better comparison here and that was a huge overpay. Smart GM's do not pay $10M+ on a RB. no need to. there are practice squad guys that can step in and compete with the right...
usually not a good idea to get into a battle with a child here but i'd like to ask why you feel my math is off?
i feel he is worth 4 x $8M on the open market. maybe 4 x $10M if we want to be generous. if we assume 4x$10M open market, taking a $15M franchise tag and then signing a 3 x $7M...
no disagreement here. i just think he is overvaluing his worth. the franchise tag is a huge gift IMO. he should be paid 4 x $5M. instead he gets offered 1 x $15M and says no? the reason he is saying no is he knows he is declining already and wants a long term deal because he may be worth 0...
exactly. he is not at all hard done by. the only issue here is he thinks a superstar running back is worth more than NFL GM's think a superstar running back is worth. he will not win this war. a rookie RB is a way better option than a Bell will ever be when you consider the price tag.
running backs just aren't worth what they think they are. if he was smart he would take the $15M, invest it and be very thankful. if i were the steelers i would cut him and use the cap money for more important positions. keep bringing in rookie galley slaves at running back on the cheap and...
where is all this Bucs and great offense talk coming from? I don't see it.
Still like Barber but is this all homer talk on the great offense or am i missing something?
Since i am critiquing others i should put up my must have's this year:
1) Alex Collins - The predator has an improved healthy O-line and the team has some receiving weapons for once. i can't wait to see what he does this year. he is vicious.
2) Kerryon Johnson - best RB patience i've seen...
