The weird thing with Bell is I don't think he's going to get the massive contract he thinks at the end of the season. How much guaranteed money will someone actually give a running back?
The Gurley extension seems like the best comparison. That was $45 million guaranteed. But I think Gurley is a year younger when that kicks in than Bell will be. And I think Gurley is just a better running back.
I could see Bell sitting if he was making $5 million a year or something, but he'd make $14 million this season. That's a lot of money guaranteed for a single season of football. Of course an injury could cost him money down the road, but there aren't that many that set your career back too much.
