You don't think his on-field production has spoken for itself.
What incentive does he have? Do you think if he says "I was scared of injury, so I didn't give 100%," teams are going to go running for the hills and avoid signing him?
He's one of the best backs of all-time, and every team knows that, or do you think they've all just ignored his play up until this season and will focus on his performance this year?
Bell holds the cards here.
Do you think a team is going to give $60 million to a guy who dogs it? Every team is quite aware of Bell's behavior over the last couple years, and they are aware of his supporting cast. Everyone is going to be wondering what he's like without AB, Ben, and that line. Being patient behind a lot of lines will result in IR. If he lays an egg this year he isn't going to see anywhere near what he wants. He needs to be the best.
