When you really break down the actual payments, this is Bell's "true contract".... 2 years, $26m fully guaranteed. Then a team option for year at $13.5m ($3m deduction if he holds out, $4m cap hit if not kept but no extra money owed), and a year 4 team option at $13m (same $3m deduction if he holds out, $2m cap hit if not kept but no extra money owed). This also doesn't count the escalators and bonuses for big time performances that we'd all happily pay for!
