Whoever gets him better pray the NFL lets their Oline hold like crazy or Bell will be a piece of shit.

He still will not make up the $14M lost. Unless some team agrees to pay him a $14M bonus when he retires.

The money is lost.

Exactly. Conner's success should make teams think twice about breaking the bank on Bell. Is he really that good or did he benefit a great deal from the play of the O-line in front of him?

Hey, even Denver's "one cut and go" (with some chop blocks they relabeled to cut blocks mixed in) system made some of their hacks look good too..

Eh.

If his $14 million came with a career-ending injury, he could be losing $20-30 million by not getting to a long-term deal.

That is only true if someone is dumb enough to pay him $34M-$44 guaranteed. The $14M is still money he will never recover.

Why would he report now with the chance of getting injured that would ruin his chances of landing with a new team that will give him a long term guaranteed contract that he wishes for? He is actually being smart. He is into this way too deep now to have a change of heart.

Don't tell me wtf I think. Pretty sure I know what I am trying to say. Why would I lie to make posters on here like me? We both know I don't care about that...

You are trying to put words in my mouth that I did not say. I said Bell could have handled the situation better but I also defended him saying Steelers could have as well and that Bell holding out is probably about more than money.

It goes both ways as far as Bell having the right to holdout to hopefully get paid what he thinks he is worth. Guess what? The Steelers don't have to pay him what he wants if they don't feel he is worth it.

I don't agree with the tag counting as his second. He never signed it. He never reported to the team. Therefore, the team didn't gain the benefit of tagging him. He doesn't get an accrued season. WTH should he get the benefit of going to the 3rd tag status? Everything should reset back like this season never happened as far as the tag goes.

Wow. I really am blown away by your abject racism. It makes me sad for you and your sad life. Especially knowing that your kind are dying off. You will leave the world unloved and unsung, and generations upon generations will think of your faceless, nameless kind with nothing but contempt.

Really, really pathetic that in 2018, with the whole of human intellect available at your disposal, this is the extent of your intelligence.

"your kind are dying off" ? Seems like you a buying into the hate bait yourself

Defending him, eh?

Gotcha.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but his kind are LITERALLY dying off. It's not hyperbole or inflammatory propaganda.

It's statistical fact.

**** that. Fly your flag. Show us your true colors.
