Leaving Money On The Table

The opportunity for Steelers RB LeVeon Bell to play this season has come and passed. He will sit out the rest of the season and leave $14,544,000 on the table by not signing for the franchise tag.

It was strictly a business decision by him as he is seeking a huge contract for next season when he becomes a free agent.

Was this the right move? Players at that position have a short career span. Will some team step forward and offer him a huge amount of money? That remains to be seen.
