Bell is the type of guy I'd see wanting to go to Baltimore just to run all over the Steelers.
Ingram would fit nicely in Chicago.
Sounds like Ingram to Baltimore.

So Bell signed for less AAV than he decided to forfeit last year?Damn!

Haha
I am not a fan of Patterson either. But he is fast so maybe Nagy will gimmick him into having some value for them.Yuck
He is crappy WR and his specialty (Kick Returns) is being gradually removed from game
And its a 2 year deal ,, Ugh
Will be interesting to see if Bears make a play for Earl Thomas. I think they'll wait for cuts and go after guys then.
The Tree is a Yinzer though, so keep that in mind.
Roughly the same amount guaranteed? The Steelers deal had $17 mil in guaranteed money, the Jets deal has $35....thats more than double.
The article I posted right above said the second season portion wasn't guaranteed until March 2019, which would mean it's not a "real" guarantee.Wrong. The guarantees are bordering on identical. He literally got a worse contract than he would have if he signed the Steelers offer.
Le'Veon Bell reportedly turned down a monstrous $70 million deal from the Steelers
"According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the contract included $33 million in guaranteed money, which was going to be paid out over the first two years. Rapoport also noted that the first three years of the deal would pay out $45 million (or $15 million per season), but didn't note if all of that money was guaranteed. As for the final two years of the deal, it seems that Bell had no guaranteed money. Of course, none of this matters now, since Bell didn't take the offer."

The guarantees are bordering on identical according to this.

Well, I think that's the point though. It's not guaranteed if there's a way for him to not actually get the money.It would be, barring an injury that kept him from playing, no?
No, it was $10 mil guaranteed, I was wrong
So basically he got triple the fully guaranteed money.

Yeah, you can't call money that you earn if you make it through an NFL season healthy "guaranteed."
Players/agents certainly don't look at it that way.
Guaranteed money is money you get even if you blow out your ACL tomorrow. Not money you make if you make it through the 1st season of the deal healthy.
No, because you're not counting the first year of the contract, either, that was fully guaranteed.
Basically.
2018
$10m signing bonus
$12 million base
$2.5 million prorated bonus
This is guaranteed as soon as he signs the contract.
2019 (Becomes fully guaranteed early in March 2019)
$6 million base
$5 million roster bonus (Colbert has been sticking the roster bonuses in almost all new contracts.)
$2.5 million prorated bonus
This is guaranteed as soon as he finishes the 2018 season healthy.
So, in essence, his first year he would earn a guaranteed sum of 24.5m
Then he would earn another 13.5m guaranteed after completing year one healthy.
To me, he turned down a better contract, and more money from the Steelers. Just my opinion.
