Purpose of thread to consolidate my posts from other threads such as new contracts and 'ideal off season'; offer my info from my resources and answer questions I get into one location. Hope you enjoy the read.
Many on this MB and other sources I review are adamant nay horrified that Le'Veon Bell wants his historical efforts to be recognised as not only one of best, consistent running backs but also as a receiver. Also that he compares himself to Gurley and there have been comments about his locker room 'disruption' and his weight. I have already addressed those elsewhere & will try not to repeat here unless a specific post requires.
my quote from my thread "new contracts".to be clear Gurley's $45 million gtd has almost $23 million pushed to future seasons beginning in 2020 with roster bonuses for 2020 thru 2023 avg $5 m plus. IF he's unable to meet roster there will be no GTD; same could be done with Bell reducing risk. If Gurley out after 2019 for any reason dead money is about $13m. The $21 million signing bonus made up the rest and that was prorated at $4.2 each with small amounts pushed back into 2018 and 2019; so a six year spread not four. I think Bell can be given a lesser but comparable deal that offers lower caps with his GTD paid off at end of 2022 when he is 30 and that is a reasonable age for a RB in his prime. Similar roster bonuses could reduced Bell dead money to after this season to very similar and probably less than Gurley.
