Granted both sums of money are outrageously large to me, and likely everyone on this board, but still the risk of losing an extra 9million seems like a bad move to me.

These are the rules that were set by the owners and the union. No one asked Bell to play RB for a living. He made that choice. If he doesn't want to play under the rules that were set then he can just stay home, which he has obviously decided to do. Also no one's career ends these days when a knee is blown out.
