The ROI from interest you'd get on having that much more money now and having that much guaranteed money in the next few years is far more stable and far easier to predict than the future performance of an NFL running back. His agent did him a major disservice by not convincing him the far less risky option with a slightly diminished potential return wasn't the only acceptable decision.
Bell is an idiot. He is too worried about setting the market instead of being on a winning team. When Detroit pays him some crazy amount and he never goes back to the playoffs he will look like a moron.
