MrOaktown_56 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Terrible. I would have offered him the same in Oakland. At this price, why not? We better make up for this by signing someone else. I'm pretty bummed about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as incompetent as our FO has been over the last year, they made a more than fair offer to Lev, and it likely wouldve been more if they COMPLETELY trusted him. In reality, Bell did us a favor.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 $35M guaranteed > $10M guaranteed, for those wanting to compare the contracts. So he signed for $9M less in total money BUT got $25M more in guaranteed money. Tell me again how this was the wrong decision for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles18 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 https://www.cbssports.com/g00/nfl/news/leveon-bell-reportedly-turned-down-a-monstrous-70-million-deal-from-the-steelers/?i10c.encReferrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8%3d According to NFL.com, the Steelers made one final offer to Bell on Monday, just hours before the NFL's 4 p.m. ET deadline for teams to negotiate a new contract with their franchise player. The offer from the Steelers was worth a total of $70 million over five years (or $14 million per season). Although the offer would have given Bell the largest multi-year contract of any running back in the NFL, he turned it down, and one reason he likely did that, is because it was nowhere near his asking price, which was reportedly in the neighborhood of $17 million per season.

I agree, but it's no guarantee we sign the right one for the right price... Unless that's in the process of happening rn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
