Mr.Debonair Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I think Bell really doesnt want to play for the Jets. Ultimately he will prob end up there but its strange that they are offering that much and you still havent announced yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL Execs predicted he'd get 4 years and $60 Mill. What does the graphic say? Could be 4 years and $60 Mill. Hmmm? I'm waiting for the crowd that actually believes that... "nobody knows anything". I've had that thrown at me several times over the last two months. Wow... apparently that's not true?! Social Media and radio so full of false reports and fake reports, its gonna be hard to say what the official announcement is when it happens.

Is that really a hard concept to understand. The media got it right. The only person who got it wrong, is you. lol. So they've never jumped the gun on signings? Gotcha.

So far Preston Smith is the only guy we missed on that we were linked heavily to that I feel bad falling short w the contract given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this IS a hard concept for you to grasp. HE! CHANGED! HIS! MIND!!! If repoting that is a "jump the gun" moment for the media, then guess what, every media outlet that covers sports in America has jumped the gun on every signing that's been reported. Because they're all doing it. Because that's the way it's done. The word gets out, typically from the agents (not from the teams until Wednesday) A player changing his mind happens about once a year. Remember Frank Gore signing with the Eagles? Then he changed his mind to the Colts. Otherwise, the players stick with the teams they picked. So, to recap.... this is not --- repeat, NOT --- an example of "jumping the gun" by the media. It's an example of the player CHANGING HIS MIND. And the media covered that too? Or maybe they shouldn't cover that because he might change his mind AGAIN?! GASP! SHOCKING! Look... I've said this every year since I arrived nearly 7 years ago... so now seems like a good time for 2019.... the media, all the media does plenty wrong. Lots wrong. Tons wrong. And when they do I hope they get BLASTED for it. They deserve it. And I never ever have a problem when people blast the media for screwing up. What I don't like is when people who don't understand journalism blast the media for what they think they did wrong, when the media did nothing wrong at all but report what was out there. Like this instance. You've tried to turn a Big Fat Nothing Burger into a meal. Sorry, it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would probably just be driving up everyone's price, which might have already happened with Amos and Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
