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.
