The Steelers offer, in terms of pure guaranteed money, was essentially a 1 year, $10 million offer. Yes you can argue he could have gotten the other "guaranteed" money simply by playing to his level, but again why should he accept less than the most guaranteed money he can possibly get? Once Gurley got $45 million totally guaranteed, why would Bell, a clearly superior player, accept less? Yes Bell has more issues, but that's mitigated by being better (it's still the NFL after all). At worst he shouldn't accept less. It's definitely a risk for him, but you can easily see teams like the Bucs and Browns lining up to give him a huge deal. When healthy he's obviously an elite player.
