Theres a lot of NFL players that ask for way more than they are worth. But I think Bell is asking his worth. I'll always support a player in that position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are better off at this point never having given Bell his money. 100% I am so glad Bell held out, and you should be too. But you can't act like saying "With any luck maybe he will tear an ACL on a treadmill " Isn't the very definition of Salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell saw what happened to Murray and knew what would happen. I don't blame him for wanting to preserve. The issue I had is taunting the team saying he will report and then doesn't . This will be the 3rd time this season he did that, so it's time to move on and let him go. If they transition tag him, they better trade him for anything they can get, and move on asap.

Yeah, him going back and forth on acting like he was going to show up is the only problem I have with him during this. I don't begrudge him for holding out the whole season, just for giving hope that he might show up for the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKSteeler Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Bell's camp let everyone believe that he would report again. We're in November now, less than a day to go, and no one knows for sure what he's going to do. Bell uses last year's touches as an excuse. In week 4 of last season, Bell was whining that he wasn't getting the ball enough and implying it was retribution for his hold-out. Not a result of, you know, own ineffectiveness and lack of preparedness. HE wanted the ball more last year. Then this year he and his agent have the audacity to claim they're staying away because he's going to be abused in some way. Bell is saving the Steelers from themselves. Because they offered him a more than fair contract each of the last three seasons. I never wanted to pay him what he was asking. My attitude has always been good riddance - your production is replaceable. Bell aint no victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider this taunting, he is done here and the team should remember this when he is the opposing RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very likely changing his mind as the situation unfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXsteeler Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I wonder, assuming that Conner's level of play isn't a fluke, would Bell and Conner be the greatest RB duo of all time if Bell had reported in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
