Why do people discount what Bell does as a player...He's going to be the fastest player to 8000 yards surpassing Dickerson. He's a legit #2 WR option too...and a 2 time All-pro.

He's not an easily replaceable player...and has murdered KC.

Glad he is gone...

The Steelers dicking him around by franchising two years in a row is why this even happened...it's not a cool way to treat your franchise players.

They forced his hand ESPECIALLY after Gurley got payed on about half the resume. The contract they offered was a joke...and leaked the total (non guaranteed) to the press to make him appear like a greedy a-hole. They dirtied him pretty good..

Probably because they recognize the numbers he puts up are largely scheme and volume dependent.

It doesn't matter who's in that backfield lately- they'll put up big numbers. Conner is actually out producing Bell and they didn't miss a beat when Bell was suspended a few seasons ago and Deangelo Williams filled in.

Bell deserves to get his 2nd contract...he's earned it. I'm siding with him on this one...Steelers didnt want to pay him...someone will and they are getting an all-pro player. He's putting up HOF numbers so far...

I hope potential free agents agree with you there. Would be great if this was the beginning of their end.

They have a really good running back in Aaron Jones but Mike McCarthy is a ****ing idiot. They could sign AP or Berry Sanders in their primes and McCarthy would still be a ****ing idiot.

Kharma will get him.

He will sign with Tampa, OAK/LV. Play 3 games and blow an ACL or Achilles.

Wtf? Karma from what? Using his only option to avoid having to play on a franchise tag a second time?

It really is amazing how owners have fooled fans into thinking players are the enemy.

You have to cuck for your boss or you're a bad person.

Unless it's a team that just has an endless amount of money to spend, and there are a few, it's not worth it. With all the money that needs to go to positions you can't spend that much at RB considering how easy it is to fill that hole relative to other positions.

Think of how much better off PIT is getting to have Connor and then spend Bell's money elsewhere.

That's a bunch of bullshit. The Steelers we're willing to make him the highest paid running back in the league. But he didn't want running back money, he wanted wide receiver money. I hate the Steelers. I hate Bell. But more than that, I hate the greed being displayed by Bell. The Steelers didn't make him look greedy. His unreasonable salary demands did. The Steelers drafted them and used the tag to retain him when he got stupid with his demands. If he would have been reasonable, he would have his long term deal. I don't see how you can twist this to put it on the Steelers.

I don't think owners have fooled them so much as taken advantage of their feelings of envy. I remember a time when people were angry when the SF Giants paid Will Clark 4m/yr. You heard statements that indicated that people thought paying athletes million dollar salaries was insanely stupid. Yet people don't even bat a eye at 4 million now. It will be the same for Bell in a couple years and envious fans will move on to their next guy they view as overpaid.

He demanded wide receiver money!! He's not a wide receiver!! That puts it squarely on Bells shoulders

The Steelers lowballed him.

Why is Bell catching all this heat from you? You look ridiculous.

Because Bell believes the Earth is 700 years old.

I just hate the greed. Nothing personal against him. I think that it's ridiculous what he's done. And I don't see how the richest contract ever to a running back is lowballing him. You think that I look ridiculous because of my view. But I find your continuous defense of him to be just as ridiculous. That's just our opinions.
