Chapter 975: 974 Adjust Strategy

Last season, Bell’s contract renewal negotiations with the Pittsburgh Steelers broke down, leading him to protest by holding out; and at that time, Brown, during an interview, chose to side with the team and criticized Bell.

The key point is that Brown secured his contract renewal, while Bell did not. Brown’s actions were indeed in defense of the team, but as a beneficiary of the situation, he had the luxury to speak without concern.

To some extent, Brown was an accomplice in the Steelers’ oppression of Bell.

Ultimately, the relationship between Brown and the Steelers ended in destruction, entirely due to consequences of Brown’s own making.

Now, the situation is fundamentally different. After all, the contract renewal negotiations of Li Wei and Mahomes are still ongoing; neither of them is a beneficiary yet.

Li Wei’s actions are not from the position of a privileged beneficiary, issuing commands from a pedestal.

In fact, Li Wei stands from a broader perspective, with a long-term vision, seeking a win-win for both the team and the players. They aspire to secure lucrative contracts; but at the same time, they firmly believe that united teamwork aimed at victories and championships is the right way to enhance their own value.

As a running back, Li Wei’s determination and conviction are indeed extraordinary.

After all, running backs today often face uncertainty, their positions precarious. Even for someone like Gurley, the league’s highest-paid player, the future remains unpredictable, which is why Bell tore relations with the Steelers last year over even a slight discrepancy in the guarantees.

Bell feared that this might be his last chance to negotiate. If he didn’t secure a big payday now, he might never get another opportunity.

However, Li Wei isn’t like that.
