How can a stud RB who touches the ball 350+ times a season be less valuable than a patty-cake D-lineman?

One thing to consider is that the Bears were probably more apt to dish out a ton of money to Mack because they won't have a massive QB contract in the near future, unlike the Steelers and Roethlisberger.

L.Bell wants 10 million a year less than K.Mack got. Salary cap considered, Bell is the better value. And both are cap nightmares. Mack is great at what he does, but 24 million for one dude out of 11 on D, not a QB. And getting hurt with that contract...ooof. Could've paid for 4 impact starters with that Mack money. Football players aren't superheroes. They get hurt all the time. Banking on 1 dude on defense to be 10x better than everyone else on the D because of his salary is unrealistic. He can't live up to his contract, period.

I agree. But he sure came in handy last Sunday.

I do not think that Mack is getting $24 million a year. No that can’t be right.

I don't know where the hell you pulled those numbers from- but your math is WAY off. I posted the Spotrac link- I suggest you look at it. Total contract $$$$ mean exactly nothing. Mack will make $13.8 million this year. LESS THAN WHAT BELL WAS ASKING FOR, AND WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IF HE MERELY HAD SHOWN UP UNDER THE FRANCHISE TAG. Mack doesn't hit $24 million until the 2021 season, when the cap will undoubtedly be higher. I'm done trying to instruct you- believe whatever you want to. Neither can Bell live up to the contract he wants. Connor just put up Bell like numbers against the Browns, and he's making around 5% of what Bell is asking for. The Steelers are wisely not going to let Bell hold them for ransom. They already offered to pay him twice what any other running back in the NFL is making and that's not good enough for Le'veon. He'd rather flush $880,000 down the toilet every week he doesn't show up, and party in Miami instead. You want me to feel sorry for him?

It's not Gip- go look at the link I already posted.
