It would look dangerous on paper but it ultimately wouldn't matter because McCarthy wouldn't utilize him anyhow. They have Jones who looked good with every opportunity this season and they still split his carries and didn't use him properly. I get Bell wanting to be paid, he deserves it, but the way that he has gone about it thus far I wouldn't be surprised to see a tag/trade(which is possible giving his ability) or just letting him "retire". And after seeing 431 touches this season, including the playoffs, I'm not sure it's a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Bit off topic, but why is the cost for the RB franchise tag as high as it is? The average salary of the top 5 backs certainly was not $12M in 2017, which is how much Bell got (and thus would now get $12M x 120% if tagged again). What am I missing?

1ForTheThumb Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 For a team tight against the cap like the Steelers? Not worth it. I'd let him walk. You got a ton of usage out of him, and he's only going to be good for a few more seasons. If I'm the 49ers or a team with a ton of cap space, I'd absolutely give him a payday.

Pittsburgh is not letting him walk, and reportedly, green bays upper management supposedly plans to be more aggressive.

The average salary of the top 5 backs certainly was not $12M in 2017, which is how much Bell got (and thus would now get $12M x 120% if tagged again). What am I missing? I believe it may be based on the total cash for that year, not so much the cap hit or actual salary (so it would include a signing bonus)? Fournette's total cash this year is 18.4 million. He is skewing the franchise tag a little bit along with Freeman. Looking at the total cash of the top 6 (excluding Bell), the average does come out to be right around Bell's one year franchise tag salary, so I'm assuming that it what it is. Using the averages from these numbers, I got right around 12.1 million for Bell. PLAYER CASH 1 Leonard Fournette RUNNING BACK $18,351,067 2 Devonta Freeman RUNNING BACK $16,297,000 3 Le'Veon Bell RUNNING BACK $12,120,000 4 Christian McCaffrey RUNNING BACK $11,144,128 5 LeSean McCoy RUNNING BACK $7,750,000 6 DeMarco Murray RUNNING BACK $6,950,000 *** edit **** I just realized the figures would have to come from the year before because tag numbers are announced prior to the draft in March, so Fournette and McCaffrey wouldn't have counted...I have no idea how they got that number if that is the case, because the yearly cash I got from 2016 was about 2 million less, and without Fournette & McCaffery, the 2017 isn't close to 12.1.
