It Was the Safe Decision, Not the Right Decision

Jason Smith and Mike Harmon clear up some misconceptions about Le'Veon Bell sitting out this year. Just because he avoided injury and will get paid next season doesn't mean it was the right decision. It only means it was the safe one. Secondly, many say Bell will make his money back with a guaranteed contract next season. Incorrect. He'll be offered the same amount of money next year whether he played or not. In fact, if he put up an MVP season he could have raised his value. No one will ever know how this season would have gone if he played so to say Le'Veon made the right decision is purely speculation.
