James Harrison: Le’Veon Bell should sign with the Steelers and fake an injury


lmao ... This would make for some funny

I presented this option about 40 pages ago. It would be easy to fake concussion like symptoms and then make the team argue against you.

I don't blame either side in this, but chump teams overpay RBs, especially ones that will get suspended multiple games on any given season for smoking pot. Ever see the Patriots pay a RB?

James Harrison is my favorite person.

I think it should only be usable one-time and only for first round draft picks.

Or football can do what every other sport does and just have fully guaranteed contracts.

NBA doesn't mandate guaranteed contracts. KG started the trend what, almost two decades ago, and now basically every contract is fully guaranteed but only because that's what players want and what teams have to offer.

NFL seems to be moving in that direction for bigger stars (Antonio Brown, Kirk Cousins, etc.) but it's going to be slow to catch on and at the end of the day the NFL is a meat grinder. Guaranteed contracts mean more security but also less money available to productive players. Especially for guys signing for the 30th-53rd roster spots it's a tall order because teams are hosting tryouts for those spots every Tuesday.

The NFL also makes more money than those leagues. You can have fully guaranteed contracts and a hard salary cap. There are injury exemptions and amnesty clauses in other leagues for this reason.

The NBA fucked itself with guaranteed contracts. Carlos Boozer to the bulls? They were stuck with him. They used that amnesty clause but you only get to use it every couple of years. Sign big contract. Then suck. The Carlos boozer way.

Guarantee the signing bonus and that’s it. If you don’t perform you don’t get paid. Teams should be allowed to cut you if you are under performing without having to pay you for years.

I dont even care at this point. Fuck the NFL.

I will be a 49er for life, but the league as a whole is going in the wrong direction and has been for some years now.

I still look forward to every game and I'm more into the Bengals than any of my other teams, but the cracks in my fandom are really starting to show. The roughing the passer calls are the latest shockwave. It's just fucking stupid.

Freakonomics Radio did a podcast on the 49ers (prior to the Garopallo injury) that is a pretty entertaining listen, especially if you're a 49ers fan.

All it should say is let Beathard come in and tank the year, hope to get a pick in top 5 - top 10 in the draft.

Hope we don't shit the bed tonight and no one on either team gets injured.

Saw some guy on reddit say his gf of four years broke up with him but fuck it he's got the Rams game and beer. I thought to myself, "Drinking, on a weekday?!?"

OOOH BOY MY FAVORITES......
