We know that running back Le’Veon Bell held out the entire 2018 NFL season because the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise tagged him and then the deal that was offered was lower in guaranteed money than the running back wanted. Fast forward he has been signed by the New York Jets to a four-year deal worth $52.5 million with incentives that could push it to $61 million. The deal has $35 million worth of guarantees which is what you ultimately have to look at, but the main factor of Bell signing is he dropped an album on all major music streaming platforms called “Life’s a Gamble” with songs named: Lotto, Talk of the Town, Large Amounts, Free at Last, One of Me and more.
Le’Veon Bell’s four-year deal with the New York Jets has a max value of $61 million and includes $35 million guaranteed, per source.

Athletes make albums all the time, but the timing of this release is of goat status. You can be man at him if you want, but me I’m saluting him even if the album or mixtape isn’t good. I don’t know if it is or not I haven’t listened.
Congrats to Le’Veon he cashed out and dropped his album on the “SAME DAY” that is what you call DOPE!
