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..

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.
