"Since the numbers are in, let's compare the Steelers offer vs. the Jets deal," Breer tweeted. "Through Year 1: Steelers $19.5M, Jets $14.5M. Through Year 2: Steelers $33.0M, Jets $26M. Through Year 3: Steelers $45.0M, Jets $39.5M ... Not much to argue here. Pittsburgh's offer was better."

"Bottom line: Jets made a smart, savvy deal for Le'Veon Bell," Mehta tweeted. "Basically a 2-year, $26 million deal. Again, Bell is getting a lot of money. But it is undeniable that he would have been better off taking the Steelers deal earlier or even playing on the $14.5M franchise tag last year. My quick math on Le'Veon Bell's salary cap number for the Jets: 2019: $8.5M; 2020: $13.5M; 2021: $15.5M; 2022: $17M. There's no way to sugarcoat it: The Jets dominated this deal."

"In Steelers proposal to Bell at the end of 2019 season he would've pocketed $33M," tweeted Banner. "In the deal he got (from the Jets) he will be at $14.5M. Behind by almost $20M. This may be the worst contract decision we have ever seen a player make, and it should've been obvious to him and his agent."
