After declining a 5 year, $70 million contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers, Le’Veon Bell bet on himself by sitting out the 2018 season, foregoing a guaranteed $14.5 million payday. Bell on Wednesday signed a 4 year, $52.5 million contract with the New York Jets and Bell’s market, as expected, never developed to the point that Bell and his agent Adisa Bakari insisted it would. That $17-$18 million a year payday Bell sought wasn’t out there and the market was so small, Bakari was forced to leak to the media of fake interest from teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs, amongst others, to try to get the Jets to up their offer. Bakari got San Francisco to make a late push but the 49ers offer is believed to have capped out at $40 million over 4 years.
Meanwhile, the real numbers of the Bell contract are now trickling in……
Jets RB Le’Veon Bell’s four-year, $52.5 million deal has $14.5 million in Year 1, $26 million over first 2.
That’s $7 million less than the $33 million he was offered over the first two years of the Steelers’ five-year, $70 million proposal in July.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 14, 2019
How bad did Bell sold himself short by not accepting the Steelers offer or at least playing last season out on the franchise tag. Not to mention the tax difference of playing in Pittsburgh compared to New York.
Per Breer here’s years 1-3 breakdown compared to the Steelers $70 million offer Bell refused to take that led to him sitting out the season:
Year 1: Steelers – $19.5M | Jets – $14.5M
Year 2: Steelers – $33M | Jets – $26M
Year 3: Steelers – $45M | Jets – $39.5M
NPL and Sam need to make up and be friends.
You guys think npl and D will be back from their Disney land trip or malkin will be back before from his Russia trip
Pop quiz, who has missed more games this year, Letang or Malkn?
Malkin
Even if he is on the ice he is not effective. Unless you want to reward his team presence with his dumb penalties
Ya but Malkin has a ton of almost goals over that period….
Rest crosby
No need too we already have the best one resting on his annual vacation
Team should literary burn these cursed jerseys
These are not the “cursed” ones you fucken retard
10 and 2 in those jerseys… fuck you are so fucken dumb
Well, by Sam(e) logic the Pens outplayed them so they won.
Do you think penguins miss letang on the power play or you were convince with the blue line plays on the pp
Welp… Rinne stole it early, the Preds have since put it away! Pens had a lot of opportunities, that 3rd line has a lot of push but needs more finish. The PP was garbage tonight… late Push was nice but if that goal comes in the second? Maybe it’s a different outcome. Tough loss chasing a division!
Magic number is ?
ZeroTool you may update us Murray’s last 10 games again
Can you do anything for yourself?
Seriously? He made 23 saves this game… 4 goals on 53 shots this week… do you really think this is gonna hurt his last ten you fucken moron?
Still in a much better position then Montreal. Go slurp the knights now before Fleury comes back from his vacation.
Are you guys finally agree with me kessel game play doesn’t belong in Pittsburgh anymore and with no Russian he looks even more lost
“Are you guys finally going to agree after 3 great years and two massive contributions to cup wins for one and MVPs, Scoring titles and 3 massive contributions to cups after 12 years of first ballot HoF hockey that Kessel and Malkin have to go”?
You’re a ridiculous fucken assholeee you know that?
I would not move Malkin but I would def field offers for Kessel, see what is out there. You never know.
I said this on the topic a couple months back, I’m not against any move that improves the team. If there was a chance to improve the roster by moving a Kessel so be it. I just don’t agree with Sam, his rationale ignores everything Kessel did here.
He’s still clipping along at a PPG pace, despite how bad he looks some nights he’s contributed a lot to the team during some of the best hockey they’ve played this year.
Sam wants to point fingers at Kessel for a loss tonight… I didn’t see Crosby’s name on the score sheet either. It’s nights like this where we look at the whole “box score” idea and realize points matter, if someone scored tonight the Pens maybe don’t lose. He’s a fucken fool
The Pens will be lucky if the get another PP tonight. Crosby got elbowed and they looked past it. Refs need to “balance” the game.
Fingers crossed!
How many TVs are off by now .
Don’t be fooled by Stan and his boxscore theory. Penguins are actually playing good. Specially without our penalty leader malkin
Like u did yesterday during the Montreal game?
Other than a PP missing Malkin significantly yes the Pens are badly outplaying them… this is what a goalie stealing a game looks like
You think Murray taking notes how to steal games
He started weak and expected team bails him out again but only thing team just ran into a hot goalie tonight
That Bonino guy is good. The Pens should sign him.
True he has done a lot since he left Pittsburgh.
Also had vacation time
Maatta back.
Sit Letang?
Letang is sitting. He is on vacation. Didn’t you notice that the defense has been better?
Defence been better since mattaa been injured.
Already -1 ha!
Hope chubby and mattaa are gone this summer
While this website is dead. Watch this boys very sad. https://youtu.be/m8vqUav8aJs
Another link no one will click on. Can’t believe you still post them. Actually, I can.
Third jersey’s tonight. That is not a good sign.
I thought they had put those away permanently? Or are we thinking the yellow ones vs the stadium series? It was the Stadium Series that became “bad luck” very fast
The black two-toned stadium series jerseys are the cursed ones. These ones are just kind of boring imo.
Yeah the stadium one was bad. They found ways to lose games in last 5 minutes of games. Happened twice with flyers
Gorgeous, Habs have 4 games left, based on Ws they lose a tied breaker vs the 2 current Wild card teams, each have 5 left.
Final four games… The Jets, Lightening, Washington and Toronto. You better hope there is a lot of resting of guys sammich
CLB in the next 5 sees teams like Buffalo, Ottawa, and the Rangers
Carolina has Philly twice and the Devils…
You forgot the games they played well and almost won in category.
Well if its almost wins I am sure the Habs are 78 – 0
No worries on the opponent. They got Price.
Murray 16 of the last 18… DeSmiths last start vs the Eicheless Sabres… #protectinghim
What we learned….DePaoli may be dead.
Murray – .919
Price – .917
Fleury – .914
MAF still not ready to go… despite “well deserved vacation” bullshit below… dudes flat out hurt!
You guys think wild will fire Bruce and hire coach Q next year
How many teams did you have him going to after he was fired?
If this asshole was right even half the time Q would be coaching 10 teams at this point
Murray >Price @SID4800 1/3 $
Price will stop Tampa… He could not even stop Riley Nash.
Sure it wasn’t Rick Nash?
Pretty sure… either way it was hilarious.
99% flyers are out
Caps with comeback win
Sam(e) turned off the Montreal game. Lol!!!!
773 save % lol
Fraud Price.
I said it before I say it again you would drool anyday to have price over Murray
You say a lot of things, that doesn’t mean any of them are actually correct.
.828 in a must win? No thanks… Murray has Cups for a reason and that don’t include .828s in big games
And at 10.5 million a year.
Price almost had that one Sam(e). Does that mean it does not count as a goal?
You’d think the highest paid goalie in the NHL would play at least average in the biggest game of the year…
Who will be back from his vacation first malkin or D
Won’t be Letang
MAF is on vacation too.
Yes vacation given by his coach. He had his 3rd child and took a week off to relax at the same time and be there for his new born but for average retards for you its stated injured so you don’t protest. Meanwhile your Russian is on his annual vacation didn’t I call it few weeks ago when he got his 1000 point I said it now he may take his vacation and it happened don’t even need to be a psychic he takes it annually. Now only if fraud Murray takes his once Russian is back his due as… Read more »
“Time to relax”…. that is called a Vacation!!!
By definition
Yes a deserved vacation since he played a lot of games. Not vacations that our Russians takes on his own and when he plays he plays at 50% yet gets paid 100%
Only departments that he was consistent and played gave his 100% was getting minuses and take dumb penalties
Oh yeah since our Russian is on vacation team is 3-0-2
“Deserved vacation?” The guy makes $5.75 million a season and has the entire summer off although his usual mental vacation starts in late spring. Sorry, if I feel no pitty. Most players take a game or two off for the birth of their kid, not two plus weeks. He is 34, they are protecting him with his “deserved vacation.”
I wonder how many times scum sully protects his 24 year old fraud Murray with deserved vacations during the season
Remember almost all of Murray’s vacations come when team loses few blowout games in a row with him in net
You mean the fact that he’s played what… 18 of the last 20 hasn’t fucken settled in that tiny little head of yours you fucken dumbshit?
Probably Malkin, Letang is a pussy
Actually kind of pulling for the habs. I’ll get to see Tortz freak out and Tampa stomp Montreal
Price will stop Tampa. They almost beat them once this year. Lol.
Price looks great tonight.
I think npl is on a suicide watch ever since he found out trump had noting with Russia
If habs pulls a victory. Next 4 games for habs are hard games. Jets,tampax, caps and leafs
Tortz already freaked out he wanted an extra 2 mins penalty for Shaw
So what, Byron throws a dirty hit decides to fight the guy later, is murdered for it and we are supposed to feel bad for him?
The Penguins are leading the Islanders in the standings by goals scored since their Points, ROW and head to head wins are exactly the same? I will take it!
Anyone recall the longest the page went without an article? 13 days since the last Buzz? 14 since a main thread article… Do you think it is actually over at this point?
It’s uncanny, we see about a half dozen new names and then BJ Ghosts the paying customers…
Records are made to be broken
Made D is just doing that
14 days with no new hockey article. Can you imagine how long summer time will be this year
Well from solstice to equinox like every other douche bag
Haha he has no idea how seasons work.
Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey hey good bye
Safe to say Florida will be eliminated tonight from playoff race.
They suckk just like npl
Meanwhile in West only 1 team is eliminated so far
While TB roles… is he a Florida fan oooooooor? TB? Make up your fucken mind!
Sam(e) is still learning geography.
By next game or so flyers should be eliminated as well and have a clearer view on the eastern conference while west is still a mess
It is going to be the CBL or the Habs in the final spot. The Canes have a game in hand plus the Habs and the Bluejackets play tomorrow. Their reward is Tampa.
I dont think Tampax would want to face habs if price is hot come playoffs habs would wear them down with their speed
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA… The Habs would be destroyed by the Lightening this season… jesus
0-3 vs Tampa and out scored 13 to 6.
We know boxscore. It’s obvious you haven’t watched the game and just looked at the score board result
Yes sam, you have made this case about how close one sided series are in the past….
Almost Goals, Should Have Shut Outs and now Nearly Wons… sams advanced stats are fucken garbage
The final score is the only stat that matters.
Here is to hoping the NHL will eventually go back to its 1 vs 8 format during the playoffs that worked so well until NBC go involved. I am sick of watching the Confrence Finals in round 2. The system was not broken. I really hope they vote on this at the next CBA meeting. They also need to bring back the white jerseys for home teams and the dark ones for the road teams.
I like the 1 through 4. I hate the idea of the wc having teams play out of their division. Either you want the division rivalries, or you don’t. If you don’t, then go 1 through 8.
They might add more teams in playoffs once league has 32 teams and maybe possible do first round like NBA. Best of 3
5 rounds? The season will end in Sept. It will never happen!!!!
Skrew division rivalries, I want the team who finishes 1st to be rewarded for finishing 1st and the team who finishes 8th to be punished for finishing 8th. This forcing a rivalry is horse crap. Pittsburgh and the CBJ will never be rivals. They play 82 games a season for a purpose. They two best teams in each conference should meet in the 3rd round, not the 2nd. A lot of times the 2nd round match ups are better then the 3rd or even the Cup Finals.
D and NPL dissapear at the same time. coincidence?
And. Tbj
Stan is still here.
Pettersson has caught up to Sprongs production…. and does everything else better too lol
Murray continues to look like the tender that has been Marchs best right sammich
Wow… that looked offsides. Teddy B!
Very tough time to be a democrat / liberal. Npl and zeroTool must feel miserable. One for lying Russian story. The other one with Trudeau middle of all kinds of scams
Yes chocolate bar gate will go down in history. SNC? Well the scandal occurred in 2011 and they’ve been dealing with it since, who was in charge? It’s become a talking point from the same idiot whose shedding support because he sucks at life AND has documented meetings, plural, with SNC himself. You don’t get that and you don’t get Barr’s comments nor McConnell working hard to block it going public. Stick with hockey, you suck at that too but marginally less
Beauty, SNC Lavalin CEO admits that he said 9000 Jobs were at risk with prosecution without a DPA… lol, well done sammich. I do have one question for you? Between SNC and Bombardier why are the biggest corporate welfare using fucken operations originating and still lead out of French Canada? What’s that about?
How many TVs were off when penguins were down 2-0.
Thank god team is there to bail fraud Murray out again
That joke is older then Cullen.
Speaking of Frauds it’s crazy shitty Vegas continues to win while the goalie that has to carry them everywhere is on vacation hey
Is Sam(e) injured yet?
Old man strikes
Remember when Sam was drooling for the Pens to sign Jimmy Vesey? He sucks.
Good response!!
Did you guys see what Doughty said about Burns. He is right same has to be said about karlsson
I wanted letang to win but with his injuries
Hands down respect Giordano must win specially at his age he is playing amazing
McLean tried to flip in on Doughty lol. I told my TV to fuck off! While Doughty isn’t in any position to talk to compare Drew to Burns is fucken ridiculous
In case DePaoli cans this site before I get to say it, I love you guys.
I think he is in vacation with his nephews tbj and npl
And Letang and MAF.
And you for got the Russian
But especially Letang
I wonder where Fleury, Letang and Sam(e) are going since they are all on vacation. Florida is my guess?
Letang is on vacation again.
Russian must’ve feel lonely
Can you believe it sam… Letang out AGAIN! 3rd time this season yeah? I mean Hes played so many less games than Geno the past 5 years he really needs to figure out how to not be a useless piece of wet TP
Question is does he get injured as many time as fraud Murray?
I heard he is due
And he deflects again.
You mean the leagues best goaltender in all of March?
What does that have to do with the FACT that Letang misses significant time pretty much annually?
What happens first: the Penguins clinch a playoff spot or Russian collusion is found?
What happens first? The Penguins clinch a playoff spot or we get a new article?
Murray is 7-2-2 in his past 11 starts, during which he has a 2.07 goals-against average and .939 save percentage. Not to shabby.
Que Sam(e) with injury comment in 3…2…1.
At least we just got a new instant buzz
Vegas 10-1-1 since acquiring Stone
Is he American
Anyone remember when the Penguins won 17 games in a row in 93 and then they got bounced in 2nd round. Regular season does not mean shit.
They also had a hot streak with Patrick Lalime
Winning streaks are hot streaks.
That was Barrasso, he had 14 wins and they outscored their opponents 96-48. Lalime had a personal unbeaten streak of 14-0-2 in 96-97.
I doubt so those the majority of the Vegas team. No wonder they play with heart. Except for pacioretty a cancer
Congrats dems. You just secured Trump’s 2nd term
Npl suckss
So does the DemocRats
#Mueller
Npl must be on suicide watch
How many tax dollars spent on the Russian probe? One un-related prosecution for tax evasion to show for it.
I wonder how npl and the rest of the DemocRats doing with today’s news
Trade Letang for Dustin Byfuglien
So you can have a hard on
On your name
Never thought I would say this but go Philly!!!
Honestly, Philly the past 3 or so years has fallen off my radar as far as hate goes. I hope they get better so the games get their meaning back.
Washington is #1 rival to me.
I agree. I just want the Pens to finish 1st or 2nd in the Metro.
Also habs vs canes tonight. 2 close teams
Habs…. They are not in the Pens division.
Yeah but by winning makes flyers chance making the playoffs slimmer
Because they’ve been such a threat…
I would rather have first place. Who cares about Philly? They would have to jump CBJ and Montreal and both have games in hand. Home ice is much more important unless u are not really a Pens fan…. nudge nudge….
Best I’ve seen the pens play since Cup year. Missing one piece as Crosby can’t continiue to carry them. Malkin?
Do PP points count for Letang?
Bruins sign Chara 1 more season at 2m. Saving 3m since this year’s contract is 5m
Chara 2nd oldest player behind Cullen
Stupid kovalchuck pissed off on kings coach for scratching him 2 times in last 3 games. Instead of looking in the mirror and accepts he is a con man.
Wish scum sully had balls and scratch our Russian. Oh wait no need to be takes his annual vacations already no need to
If we’re waiting for Sam or NPL to learn something from the Caps game before we get a new article, consider this site dead.
Mueller dropping the bombshell baby! #NothingBerder
Still on the capitals article. Team played 5 or 6 games since
Holtby not going to white house. I guess gay community is more important for him to takes side with
Never liked Holtby.
How long for this comment section to be disabled as well
I actually thought it already was
Jaskirat Singh Sidhu of Calgary, Alberta, pleaded guilty earlier this year to 29 counts of dangerous driving.
How do you kill 16 people, hurt 13 and get only 8 years in prison?!
WTF goes on up there in Canada?
If you’re Muslim you even get rewarded by Trudeau 10million
Pretty sure that name is more Indian than Muslim. . But I guess you hate everyone you can’t pronounce their name.
It is Indian. Sam(e) just likes to show off how ignorant he is.
May be Sikh more specifically… Indian either way though
Actually it was the Supreme Court that noted human rights violations caused by the Conservatives in charge for 10 years of his incarceration. The precedent had been set by another prior case botched by Harpers team. The PMO doesn’t have authority over the court. You really are fucken stupid in multiple topics
Haven’t you guys noticed
D hasn’t been around so does npl
Minute new article is posted npl is active.
You guys think they are relatives?
I mean they both have few things in common
Both democRat
Both lazy
And both bring nothing to this website
Think DePaoli died
what we learned – depaoli is dead. long live depaoli
His name was William DePaoli!
Did he get vanned?
I think he is working on Tampax insiders with npl
How is Vegas doing tonight
Tampa beat Carolina.
Montreal beat New York Islanders.
Edmonton beat Columbus.
Those are the games that matter to the Penguins.
Almost a perfect night for Pittsburgh
Zero you forgot to mention and for the habs too looll since you accuse me being their fan
You are a Habs fan. Why are you denying it?
Why the fuck would it be to speak on it dingus… you’re the fan not me
Terrible zone entry on the PP. This needs to be addressed!
Who slurps Letang more, Sam(e) or Bob Errey?
Easy, Sams probably got a fleshlight moulded from Letangs post game assholeeee
Adam Johnson called up for some speed…Blandisi send down. Riikola sent down aswell.
Hey npl I have hockey tickets for tonight’s game wanna come 162$ each ticket
Habs tickets are one stubhub for $32. Seems like the folks up there are really interested.
I found tickets for $55. Sam(e) got ripped off.
Panthers tickets 7.50$ a can of beer at Bell centre is more expensive than that
Or he’s trying to rip npl off, but I find that hard to believe, especially considering he’s asking him out on a date.
Awesome that we all found our way to Here to rip on each other. Haha. DePaoli’s crappy content can’t stop us.
Brad marchand defending krug vs media
Saying what kind of garbage is this haggs… you don’t even watch the games you just stand at the snack bar the whole time .
He said that because haggerty said
What we learned in the bruins 5-0 defensive win over islanders. The bruins better without krug
In their lineup at least defensively there is an argument to be made
Kinda reminds me of the bandwagon’s here that want letang gone when they don’t see what he brings to the game
Bunch of fat fuckss
Well as long as we know the guy that licks his opponents is an authority on the subject and not just sticking up for a teammate he probably licks in the locker-room…
Yakk disgusting
Bettman annouces 16 outdoor games for the 20-21 seaon. All of them will be played in Chicago.
D, you too busy selling your whore wife all day? Write an article you lazy piece of shitt.
not confirming nor denying, but are you accusing d of pimping out his wife? most pimps are hustlers, that doesn’t seem like d’s mo
He is hustling by having late payment on his website
Thats why we crash once a month lol
Good job. Orpig for hitting your own goalie with your hockey stick.
This douche bag often hurts his own teammates
If he helps Washington lose I am all for it.
Middle of the year and the comments section is disabled… what a fucken joke D
Doesn’t that usually mean a new article is coming ?
D unblock Stanchion account
D unblock npl
D unblock. Npl10
D unblock Npl1O
This website is as sad as Beta Trudeau
Sam(e), get some more accounts so D will make more $$$.
Interestingly enough I agree… to be this fucken useless D must be French Canadian
No he’s American
And that means lazy
“Trudeau”… Either you struggle with how this blows up in your face or youre too dumb to know you fucked up. Both are plausible and neither absolves French Canada of suck!
Even Same gets it.
But MJD AND others said he won!?!?
how bad did Bell sold himself short
