I wish him luck, the new CBA makes holding out a serious problem for players.

Well that's a good point. I'll say this, I dunno if he has the stones to really hold out, 16 million is a lot more than he's made for his entire career at this point.

I thought the window to sign the tender was essentially open-ended.
The parties have until July 15th to reach a multi-year agreement in LIEU of the tender. That's how guys like Bell have been able to refuse to sign the tender until about week 9, then go ahead and sign it and secure a year towards UFA status. |

That sucks he's getting contract advice from Bell. Might as well take a firearms class from Plaxico Burress while he's at it.
Its pretty apparent that the season very well could be on hold this year, and going forward there is a very real chance of the salary cap not inflating like they think. Some of these guys are trying to eek out every last cent, when the reality of it is, they may be leaving a TON of money on the table when its all said and done. At some point, they need to keep things in perspective. Sure the team owners are next level rich. But even with the peanut salary of $16 million, he could be doing a hell of a lot worse for himself. Kind of hard to legitimately scoff at that number if you ask me. Seems like a risky, and dumb angle to take with the current climate. |

Player: "Fans should give players undying, never ending support, even if we're 0-16"
Also Players: "If I don't get a billion dollars, I'm outta this shithole" I've liked Chris Jones and if they can make it work to keep him at a contract that doesn't hold back the team, great. If not....Mahomes needs paid worse than the Chiefs need Jones. |

Players have limited earning time, I don't begrudge anyone for trying to get paid.

Their earnings window is so much longer than anyone else's. For someone like Mahomes, he'll have at least 3 'major' contracts. For the vast majority of his teammates, they'll get 1 - if they're lucky. So if you're Mahomes and over the course of 15 years of 'big' contracts you can make, say, $600 million instead of $750, you've significantly improved the odds of your team putting a competitive product around you. Yes, you took a ton less than you could have, but you're still set up for 3-4 generations in terms of wealth. But if you're Jones - get while the gettin's good because it's likely the best shot you'll ever have at getting big money. |

Welp, I'd trade him to the NFC for draft picks.

Bell played on the tender 1 year. I don't blame him either for being pissed.
