Yes exactly. The contract would be considered voided. Then only the 10mil split over the remaining years would count.
The same thing almost happened last season. Per CBA both Steelers and Bell would both have to agree to it.
Rolling guarantee means if he doesn't get cut before a deadline, he'll get that money no matter what. It's something that the Steelers, Pats and...
I read the link you posted. The 10mil bonus is apart of the total 33mil he would have gotten for the first 2yrs of the contract. 10mil he would...
He would still get paid because the tag is guaranteed money. There's really only 2 ways he won't get paid, not signing the tag or getting...
Bell was only guaranteed 10mil which is a signing bonus. The 33mil-45mil for the first 2-3 years was only guaranteed if he wasn't released before...
Cutting him would be dumb. Keep him and then get something for him in the off-season.
Wouldn't that be on Tomlin or the OC to make sure he's fresh late in games, the season & postseason. I thought Bell was only suspended for weed...
Nope. Not for me, especially when he's touched the ball over 400 times last season, 85 of those were receptions. He almost never comes off the...
They finally win some playoff games.
And we win SB LIV making it back to back SB wins. :D
No one has leverage at this point. He can only get the tagged amount. He can sit out till week 10 to get an accrued season getting him closer...
Jackson signed for nearly the same amount as his tag and had some good productive years except maybe his last year.
I am saying he will be up against 1st stringers all game long. In preseason you go up against a partial squad of 1st stringers for a series or 2.
23 carries - 83 yards 3 catches - 13 yards 0 TDS This is being optimistic.
That's preseason. Regular season he will be up against 1st stringers.
I know people want the Steelers to cut Bell loose and run with Conner. But do people really want that? Conner is unproven... sure he can run, but...
If he shows up, you use him. He's just so difficult to game plan against. Base defense he swings out to receiver, if in nickel they run. Conner...
What could they suspend him for? He hasn't violated any rules, he can't if he isn't contractually with the team.
Pulling the tag would be dumb. He'd be free to sign with any team at that point. The team wouldn't risk him going to an AFC team. Any team would...
