Le'Veon Bell - goes from Steelers to the Jets

[jimnyc]

So last year the best it got was the Steelers offering him a contract of 5 years and $70 million dollars, he turned it down. They put the "franchise tag" on him, which in short would pay him $14.5 million dollars for last year.

He never showed at ALL and there then forfeited the entire $14.5

Now this year, he didn't get much interest outside of the shitty Jets. Last night they signed him to a 4 year and $52.5 million dollars.

Ummmm, ok, lets do the math and see how wrong I am.

Had he signed with the Steelers, he would have gotten $14 million per year over 5 years.

With the Jets, he gets $13.1 million per year. AND he won't be recovering the $14.5 he voluntarily gave up last year.

I still think he's awesome. But screw him now! LOL You suck Le'Veon!!

And Antonio Brown...

He wanted Mega Dollars - and demanded a trade to get that money. He TRASHED Big Ben and the entire team for a few months before they had enough and gave him up for a shitty 3rd and 5th rounder. I understand the $$$ part from the greedy fuck, but why trash the team and his teammates like that?

Hey, Antonio - you too!

NO way do I give up wearing the black and gold and a good shot on the list of best Steeler's runners in team history to go to the Jets. Even when the Jets had flashes of being good they still sucked. That's like going to play for the Clippers in the NBA.

He'll be like the rest of the pampered stars that demand to go to a new team for more money only to find out without a good coach and a gameplan centered around him he's going to suck until he gets injured and retires. Oh, this ISN'T about Tony Dorsett? My bad

I can see if he did it and got and extra 10 mil per year, but he did it and ended up with less $$ in the long run most likely! To go to a perennial 6-10 team!

Hey. The Jets won the Superbowl. When I was 8.

I can't see it. Even for more money. A RB going from a team with a running line and running game to a team without either. They either won't used him correctly, or they'll put the whole team on his back and the injury math gets him.

I'm surprised Jerry Jones didn't make him an offer

"Give it to me now".... Money and greed effect small brains....which show`s anything is possible...
