People counter that with "but he's walking away from 14 million and won't get that per year elsewhere," but guess what? There's EIGHT BACKS MAKING MORE GUARANTEED MONEY THAN THAT, and plus they have long-term security. So you think that Bell won't be paid as a top eight back and get AT LEAST as much guaranteed money as those guys?
He may not get it all in one year, but it should be pretty close, and it's about the guaranteed money.
I haven't seen anyone bring up that point on here.
He had an option to sign a long term deal to "protect his future". He passed on it. There's always stupid owners, but I think that most will see that while he's very good, he also had the luxury of being on the same side of the ball as a HoF QB, AB, JuJu, and a stud line.
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American
