One could argue, though, that none of those punts is as sad as kicking a field goal on 4th and 1 from the 6, down 4, with 5 minutes left in a game. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201812150den.htm He's talking punts, not field goals. e: Also, are you Greg Easterbrook or something?

I've waffled a lot between my hatred of the Steelers, my instinct to side with players over owners and my dislike of every single thing Bell says or tweets. Like comparing not getting enough guaranteed money to slavery.

Ehud posted:lol He wanted guaranteed money. It was pretty simple; running backs have a short lifespan and the contracts the Steelers were offering him would pay him handsomely...except everyone knew they'd run him ragged and he'd never see most of that money because it wasn't guaranteed. He didn't want to accept a deal where he bears the entire risk of injury and wear and tear, especially because that just incentivizes the steelers to use him up then throw him out early.

I thought it was like 10 mil guaranteed in the first year and then the Steelers were off the hook for the rest? I'm not 100% clear on it but I know it wasn't a lot upfront considering what he thought he was worth as a player.Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:What every ex-Steeler wants. To get away from Ben.

I'm not 100% clear on it but I know it wasn't a lot upfront considering what he thought he was worth as a player. It seems like it had some odd "guarantees" that weren't fully leaked (or if they were, I didn't find them) and that would phase in over time, but were probably just basically a requirement the team cut him before FA started if they wanted to cut him that year. It was nothing but a one-year contract with loads of team options.

No, that's incorrect. The first year of his salary plus the $10mil were guaranteed, which would have been $24mil. Everyone poo poo on the Steelers for that bc Gurley got $45mil in rolling guarantees, which were actually $21mil in real guarantees. Anyway, Le'Veon Bell came into the league at 245lbs, and really wasn't any good until his 2nd year when he dropped to 220lbs at Tomlin's request. If he's up over 260, good luck with that

It was a totally bullshit contract. Like, they absolutely did not expect him to sign it because no agent would but inflated the total amount to make chuds turn on him and call him greedy, which they did.

What is a “rolling guarantee?” Is that one of those “it’s guaranteed unless we cut you”?

wyoak posted:What is a “rolling guarantee?” it becomes guaranteed if you're not cut by a certain date (usually around march) but what's really important is if it's just that next year that gets guaranteed (which is just a "you must cut me early if you want to cut me, so i have plenty of time to get signed to a new team") or if additional years beyond that get guaranteed (which is sort of a team option for a new contract that contains additional guarantees)

MY NIGGA D-LINK posted:They weren't real guarantees they weren't real, but they weren't entirely fake: quote:$21.95M guaranteed at signing (signing bonus + 2018 salary) basically the contract had an out if he was wretched in 2018 and got cut, but if he wasn't bad enough to get cut by march 15 of this year, his next two years become guaranteed. so that's some actual security that's between a fully guaranteed contract and a "every year is a team option" contract. if bell's contract offer had any of that stuff the guarantees beyond the bonus wouldn't just be trash, but if they only guaranteed for that year they'd be complete trash.
