I can’t think of a more frustrating player to watch play against us than Bell. Maybe Manning, but still. We could just never get him stopped. I’m with you, glad he’s playing for the good guys now.

Now he has to play a part time roll for another team and hope he gets a decent payday next year. Big gamble yet again. |

If you watched that press conference and aren't giddy about having a player who was top-5 on the NFL 100 list only two seasons ago, you have no soul and belong in hell next to Scott Pioli.

Keeping him away from another team we could face later in the playoffs like Buffalo is worth it.

In the unlikely event that Bell becomes an issue in the locker room, the Chiefs can cut him with minimal financial impact. Bell has everything to lose in this situation if he becomes a problem (which again is unlikely considering his history of being a supposed “team cancer” is greatly overstated). |

Maybe he got less money. Maybe he didn't. Maybe Pittsburgh would've run him into the ground and he would've been injured and never received another guaranteed contract again. Maybe he was okay making less money to bet on himself in a principled way while not being taken advantage of by Pittsburgh.
I don't think it's clear his story is written. Maybe he wins a Super Bowl in KC and rejuvenates his career. Maybe he wins a Super Bowl in KC and doesn't but feels he had a fulfilling NFL career by getting a ring. |

But I'm not a pro football player or Bell. The signing bonus sounds kind of low though. |

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-c...on-bell-12329/ So yea I suppose had Pitt just shit canned him after one year he could have made less but he basically took a year off and turned down 2 year $33MM deal with more on the table and took a 2 year $27MM deal. Im not an accountant but....1 year no pay plus $6MM less in the 2 years equals around $12-15MM loss assuming he makes 6-9MM in the lost year? But hey it was a moral victory am I right? |
