Professional athletes can take out big money insurance policies that pay out in the case of injury to prevent against future lost earnings. Seems like at least some of the risk could have been mitigated that way and you come out ahead even if you get hurt vs not taking the 14.5.

Can you take out an insurance policy that could come close to recouping the money he would lose if he had a career ending injury or an injury that took years off his career? I'm curious.

You can. You can get insurance on anything if you are willing to pay for it. J-Lo got her ass insured for example.

This article is about big time college players taking out insurance from a couple years ago.

Cleveland has no need for him. I will guess he ends up in Oakland or Tampa Bay.

I have him going to Indianapolis.

 

[Newsworthy]

Colts and Bell.

Wildly overpaying for a disappointing Bell seems like a Jets thing to do

Between injuries and holdouts, he's barely played in January anyway.

No thanks. I'd rather not we go down the same route of sign big free agent after setting up for a rebuild only to find said FA is a colossal waste of money. Especially with how toxic Bell is.

He can go pound sand.

Big free agent signings have not been kind to Miami in recent years.

Mike Wallace signing was a WTF why kind of deal, same goes for Suh (Although at the time, Suh signing was not too bad)

With Miami hes guaranteed to play no meaningful games in January.

 

[Newsworthy]

Can't believe Bell is continuing his hold out.

 

[Pestilence]

Pro Bowl is in January though.

 

[Unholy Diver]

Pro Bowl is in January though.

He is always injured that time of year anyway

Pro Bowl is in January though.

Its in Florida now. He'll take that.

it's not a holdout. Steelers will simply let him walk.

 

[Newsworthy]

It was a joke

 

[StreetHawk]

It was a joke

In the end, both sides lost. Bell missed out on money and the Steelers missed the playoffs.

 

[Newsworthy]

News flash.
Bell is still holding out.

 

[Newsworthy]

Don't really want him on my team either

I'd like to see him in Houston
