He’s going to be making more than 3 years 40 million... You don’t think him and his agent have calculated every single move out? I can almost guarantee he knows roughly how much he will be making in his next contract, and he knew the risk/reward if he was to get hurt or not and how it would effect the future contract.

He’s the biggest drama queen

Way more that goes into it. 1. Health 2. Wear and tear 3. He’s now going into free agency fully healthy with less wear and tear, and he’s absolutely going to break the bank. 4. If he gets hurt this year while having another year of wear and tear on his body, his value plummets. Especially as a soon to be 27 year old running back. 14 mil would be absolutely nothing compared to the value he would lose if he got hurt.

Oh ya that’s right. If I recall though, wasn’t it basically like a 2 year deal cause the guaranteed money was pretty low?

I don’t think anyone is saying Bell is a class act lol. We are just saying it could be a potentially smart BUSINESS move to not play this year.

What was the initial offer? I don’t remember it

I understand that. But that still doesn’t factor in all the touches he would have had and a risk of injury. His value would greatly diminish if he was going into free agency with another 200/300 plus touches and ending off with an injury. Especially as a RB

In the short term obviously the better decision would be to sign the tag and play for the 14 mil. But in the long term we just don't know yet. It Is impossible to say right now whether it was the right decision or not. All Bell knows is he is going into free agency healthy with a year less of wear and tear, and he knows he's going to break the bank.

If they can add a good number 2 corner via free agency or draft, this defence should be lethal next year

Jim Mora would be appalled at your question

Still crazy that he forfeited over 14 Million.

I would say Shaq. Zay looks competent now. Shaq is actually an impact player now.

Lock up Nate the great to a long term contract with incentives that would pay him an extra 100k per game for not throwing a pick six in a game

I believe it’s the NFC east for next year. And the NFC west in 2020

Honestly who cares. Why are you so obsessed with this individual?

He’s asking “for a friend “. He must be related to Nate and trying to get some feedback for him.

Fantastic news

1 win against a bad team and the TSW goes from saying the Bills will be 2-14 a week ago, to 7-7 and possibly making a playoff run. Got to love the highs and lows of a NFL season:)

It wasn’t a direct question to the OP. It was more of a rhetorical question.

Not sure what that has to do with anything. He is a career backup. He was the backup before he got hurt in Cinci

I can’t say I saw many similarities at all

Fair. I will agree to that. But hard to imagine the Bills went from averaging like 6 points a game in their past 3, to 41 against a good defence just by adding a bit of speed. Players played better for sure. The speed helped to your point. But the game plan and play calling was also way more creative/unpredictable, and he put the players in a way better position to succeed IMO

What was the same about it? Curious to hear your assessment

That’s not the truth at all. Way more play actions on early downs, more jet sweeps to make the defence cover all parts of the field, more screens. There were even more things. I would have to watch the game again to completely refresh my memory Lol did the Bills sign some all pro players for yesterday’s game or something?

I can’t say I agree with your assessment. Has it helped statistically? Possibly. But if you have watched all 10 games this year , you should come to the conclusion that the Bills defence is pretty damn good
