pearls regarding the decision of running back Le'Veon Bell to sit out a full season do a bizarre victory lap on social media regarding the annual average of Bell’s new contract with the Jets Brandon Copeland Jersey , there’s an important factor regarding the contract that needs to be considered.How much fully-guaranteed money will he receive at signing?The initial reporting predictably glosses over that fact (after all, reporters who insist on trafficking in the truth often don’t get the scoops), describing the deal as carrying $35 million in guaranteed money, without specifying how much of that amount is fully guaranteed. Soon, we’ll know (and we’ll share) the full facts on how much truly and fully guaranteed money the contract carries in 2019 Womens Chris Herndon Jersey , 2020, etc.That’s ultimately what Bell was fighting for. The Steelers notoriously refuse to fully guarantee money beyond the first year of a contract. The Jets have a history of fully guaranteeing money into year two and, in some cases, beyond. (When he returned to the team after Super Bowl XLIX, Darrelle Revis had fully-guaranteed salaries in the first year and second year http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-nathan-shepherd-jersey , with $6 million fully guaranteed in the third year.)Ed Bouchette of the characterizes Pittsburgh’s final offer to Bell as carrying $33 million in guaranteed money “over the first two years.” But he doesn’t specify how much of that money was fully guaranteed at signing. Bouchette also says that Bell would have received $45 million over three years; without guarantees, however, it would have been foolish to conclude that the full $45 million would have been paid to Bell. A significant injury or noticeable slippage in Bell’s performance would have gotten him cut before the checks would have been cashed.Without a long-term deal from the Steelers structured in a way that Bell regarded as fair and appropriate, Bell chose not to accept $14.54 million last year from the Steelers and not to assume the risk of an injury that would have kept him from getting a multi-year deal with a multi-generational fully guaranteed payment. While Bell didn’t get the $14.54 million, he still got the multi-year deal — and once the specifics become available it will be easier to completely assess the value of the two in the bush that Bell secured after giving up the bird in the hand.That’s the point that so many supposedly informed observers are missing. Bell didn’t give up $14.54 million to get what he would have gotten last year. First Trumaine Johnson Jersey , he ultimately may have gotten (by way of fully-guaranteed money) much more this year on a long-term deal that what he would have gotten last year. Second, there’s no way of knowing whether taking the $14.54 million last year ever would have kept him from getting a big-money, long-term deal; with a torn ACL or a broken leg or a ruptured Achilles, he wouldn’t have gotten whatever he’s getting from the Jets.But that won’t stop those who want to rub Bell’s face in it from ignoring the broader context, no matter how obvious and petty the motivations for celebrating a football player’s failure to get as much money as he hoped to get may be. It’s time to look into my crystal ball and make some amazing predictions about the 2019 NFL Draft which will all come true. But if they don’t my account was hacked. The dog ate my homework.

John B surreptitiously and unscrupulously Womens Neal Sterling Jersey , with malice aforethought, edited out the correct predictions. The Templars hid the truth. Or something.Despite frantically working the phones to try to trade down, the Jets will ultimately stay at pick #3 and select Josh Allen. The Bills will not be happy he went back into the draft.Despite having traded away all their second round picks for the rest of the millennium to select a quarterback in the 2018 draft, the Jets will make a selection in the second round of the 2019 draft.The Jets will not select a center in the 2019 draft.The Jets will use one of their selections in the 2019 draft on a quarterback, surprising almost everyone.One of Leonard Williams or Darron Lee http://www.jetslockerroom.com/authentic-c.j.-mosley-jersey , but not both, will not be a Jet by the end of the 2019 draft.The Jets will select a tight end on the third day of the 2019 draft. That tight end will be either Trevon Wesco out of West Virginia or Stetson’s Donald Parham.The Jets will select a running back in the 2019 draft. That running back’s last name will be Williams.The Jets will not select a cornerback in the 2019 draft.The Jets will select an offensive tackle in the 2019 draft, but not until pick #93 or later.The Jets will select a wide receiver in the 2019 draft. That wide receiver will be Greg Dortch out of Wake Forest.Those are my predictions for the Jets 2019 draft. How about you? What are your predictions for the draft?
