He will play for Madden from now on

This is a side topic, but RBs take by far the most punishment of any position in football and they're not even close to being paid the most. They have the shortest careers, and they're probably the least likely position to see multi-year contract extensions. Most RBs if they're decent will play out their rookie deals, then get told to hit the road and work for chump change from year to year and team to team.

The NFL needs to institute a per carry bonus that's paid out league wide. Make it universal for all players, whether they're rookies or old ass Frank Gore (who still hasn't freakin retired yet, remarkably). I don't know what's fair, but let's say $5000 per carry. You put in 300 carries, which is a workhorse back-type number, then you get a $1.5 million bonus check as a way of saying, "Maybe this will take the sting out of your Parkinson's later in life." Again, I don't know what a fair number is, and I haven't thought through the logistics and fairness of it for teams that are run heavy versus teams like us or whether that will create a hole because teams will start saying to the desperate guys, "Ok. We'll sign you, but you're going down to league minimum because you get that per carry bonus to cover what we'd normally pay you". That'd be a dick move, but you can bet some assholes out there *coughBELICHICKcough* would totally Jew these guys

Pretty sure it happened when his dumb ass took a year off. Pittsburgh isn't stupid. They rode that chocolate thai hard. They knew not to give him a fat contract. They weren't desperate (like the Jets)...

As bad as Peters was, he wasn't anti-Reid:

He was a tool, and not a very good one. Toodles.
[Reply]

Couldn’t agree more. His actions were definitely pro-Reid. Never embarrassed the organization, never laid hands on coaches and fully embraced PMII.

I'm beginning to think, they all told him to go grudge fuck himself.
[Reply]

The guy can't control himself - he's a malcontent - but he doesn't blame Reid for his problems like Bell clearly does.
[Reply]

and he sealed his retirement with that comment...who is gonna want him now if he cant get along with Andy?
[Reply]

He's washed up. He looked washed up last season. Poor leader that brings nothing to the table.
[Reply]

Right. That's the funny thing. Bell is such a brain dead mush head (not breaking news), he shot himself in the dick with this idiotic comment that serves no purpose. He was never going to play for Andy Reid again anyway, so why say anything? Does he think that comment is going to effect Andy? Andy is one of the most well liked and well respected people in the game. Bell has now thrown shade at two of the most highly regarded organizations in pro sports. I'm sure every decision maker saw these comments and thought "what a ****ing idiot this guy is".

Oh and also, he sucks and is washed up.
