    Much more than Freemans $22 million guaranteed which was the highest at the time
    Your link is not accounting for the actual structure of the contract. Bell had a roster bonus and year 2 that became fully guaranteed 10 days into the season. So over $20 mill year 1 at league minimum salary and 33 fully guaranteed the first 2.
    If he was cut 10 days in, he gets $14 mill plus his wish to become a FA.

    That’s a great change of pace back. We need someone who will keep the downs on schedule and keep sam out of 2nd and 9 -3rd and 8.

    Raiders just agreed a massive deal with Trent Brown. That will put a huge dent in their Lev Bell money.

    Ideally, Jets will find someone in draft to be a grinder. There are a couple of powerbacks that could be had. I like the idea of pairing Coleman with a power guy.

    After paying Brown and Brown, I doubt the Raiders even sniff Bell

    They still have the money to make a run at Bell. We don't know how Brown and Brown are structured. Could have league minimum first year with large signing bonus spread out. Even if not, they had over $70 million in cap space.

    Seems like the Raiders are having problems with their cash flow. 1 team out of the LeVeon Bell Sweepstakes

    Poorest owner in the league. Same reports last year as to why the traded Mack. Not cap space, just not enough actual cash.
