Steelers running bell the most important contract renewal is to protect income
Le'Veon Bell continues to have confidence in signing the Pittsburgh Steelers a long time.
When he appeared on the NFL official website Friday, Bell said he believes his contract renewal is still the top priority for the Steelers and he reiterates once again that the two sides are closer to reaching a consensus compared to last year.
For Bell, the most important part of contract negotiations is income protection.
"Yes, there are many times when negotiations are about income protection," he said. "This is the true value of a long day. You want a sense of security. That's why I said I would accept a franchise tag contract. All salaries are guaranteed. You want me to be a franchise tag player, yes, all Income is guaranteed.This is my view on the renewal because I do not want to sign a long and then each person said I signed a contract of 70 million US dollars but only the first year income is guaranteed.So you are in The $ 17 million earned a year is the only guarantee. "
Bell was asked if the Steelers would give him a contract to secure a $ 50 million revenue contract? "$ 50 million in guaranteed income? Of course," he replied. But then was asked if the $ 30 million contract to Madden 18 Coins protect income, Bell did not immediately reply.
Last year it was reported that Bell rejected the contract price quoted by Steelers in the first two years to guarantee revenue of 30 million U.S. dollars. Steelers may once again use Bell franchise labels, which will make his salary next season reached 14.5 million US dollars.
Bell missed off-season training and preseason before signing a franchise label contract last year. He said Friday that the current plan will attend this year's training camp.
