ok, now when does bell, show up?

Are we certain that Bell played the cards wrong? To us that don't earn millions in a year it looks like he overplayed his hand. However, we all believe that he will get another contract in the NFL, in the end, Bell may have taken a year off and then go back to work. If I could take a year off and then go back to work, I'd thin about it.

If taking a year off was the goal (without respect to monetary losses) then he certainly accomplished that. If his goal was to maximize his revenue, then undoubtedly it was an epic failure. No way he recovers the 14.5 million in guaranteed money he lost by sitting out this year. His stock has decreased significantly (in terms of a long term deal) the past several months.

And in his own words....it's about the money.
