Around the NFL Week 1.

Imagine passing on $850k a week, wtf


It is all about ego with him, he wants starting QB type money.

Also, think of the fantasy football players who drafted Bell! Man, I’d be pissed!

What Bell last 2 year total? 26-27 million guaranteed? That’s pretty good for a RB.

I agree with G1 (i checked and hell isnt frozen yet)

The CBA is in place and both sides have clearly prospered under it.

Bell does have the right to sit out, but it doesnt make it the right choice for him to make. If he comes in week 10 and plays lights out, no injuries, and scores a big contract then great for him, but there are a lot of other scenarios where this move costs him millions of dollars.

All i know is I wish i were in the position to lose a half a year's salary because i wanted more money. :(

Report: Randy Gregory faces new discipline under substance-abuse policy

Couldn’t happen to a nicer piece of shit. Why do the cowboys constantly give trash like this an opportunity?

I think from the players' side, a very small percentage of them have prospered under the CBA. The majority of the players are still at the financial mercy of the owners. Going into the new negotiations, the NFLPA should focus more on financial issues that affect all players, instead of focusing on things like player discipline, which affects a small percentage of players.

Vikings defense is so nasty...

Dang, I’m not sure if Cousins ever threw that accurate of a pass with us.....

Imo, this is a pretty bad look by Levon Bell...kinda surprised. Dude...over 14 million per for a RB...you need to show up for work. Gotta be a let down for team...I think this could really back fire for him

So unprofessional. Pittsburgh is handling it the right way. Either play for us or stay home and pass on 14 million.

consider these 2 "doomsday" scenarios:
1) he signed his tender Wednesday and played wk 1 under the tag with a guaranteed $14million. He blows out his leg, and career ends.
or
2) he signs his tag at the last week possible. He plays that week, and has the same career ending injury. In this case though, he gets $5.5million.

Granted both sums of money are outrageously large to me, and likely everyone on this board, but still the risk of losing an extra 9million seems like a bad move to me.

These are the rules that were set by the owners and the union. No one asked Bell to play RB for a living. He made that choice. If he doesn't want to play under the rules that were set then he can just stay home, which he has obviously decided to do. Also no one's career ends these days when a knee is blown out.

Ain’t shit changed in Cleveland....offense can’t do shit.
