Last year Le’veon Bell of the Pittsburgh Steelers was the best running back in the league. He had one more year left on his contract when he demanded a new contract that would have made him the highest paid running back in the NFL. When the Steelers refused to meet his salary demands, Le’veon Bell decided not to play at all saying he was concerned about being injured—which could greatly lessen his value next year. His decision not to play cost him $14.5M in salary. Currently, the highest paid running back has a four-year contract totaling $60M. Healthy, Bell will get a lot more than $60M.
