He's greedy for wanting a long term deal over playing on a 2nd franchise tag?


I swear, there's no other industry other than sports where people will openly side with billionaires ****ing over their employees

I have no problem with what Bell has done. Steelers were wrong to tag him twice in my book. He played on it once and then they gave him the ball 400 times. Not fair to him to tag him again. He chose not to accept so he doesn't play amd doesn't take any more of their money. It's fair.

In what other industry does the employee turn down a 5 year, $70 million contract and refuse to work for one year for $14+ million? It was a very good offer for his position. But he didn't want his position money, he wanted receiver money. Screw him. The billionaires we're being more than fair. He's just being a greedy prick. I hope that he never earns half of the money he turned down.

You're way too emotional about some one else's paycheck that you receive zero dollars from.

I'm not emotional about it at all. I just think that he's being greedy and I hope that he gets burned for his actions. I can't stand Bell or the Steelers. If Bell died tomorrow or the Steelers franchise closed their doors forever tomorrow, I would just say good riddanced and go on. It's just the principle of these players turning down more money per year than most people see in a lifetime because they think that they're worth more. That is pure greed. What can Bell do with$80 million that he can't do with $70 million? Either amount is more money than he and his kids and his kids kids can ever spend, so what's the point of the whole thing? Greed! Nothing but greed!

Maybe LB doesn't like the Steelers organization? Maybe it's personal? Maybe it's because Todd Halley is no longer the Steelers OC and LB is pissed off about it?

Maybe so. But if so, he could have worked something out with them where he signs the tag if they agree to trade him. But he didn't even do that. Besides, that is pure speculation. We have no idea if he feels that way.

Yes you are. Wishing permanent physical injury because you do like another's choice on how they handle their own future potential earnings is getting overly emotional. Emotionally unhealthy to be more accurate.

Then you look at the fact that you don't know the person, will never know the person and receive zero emotional, physical or financial support from them makes it even worse. You have zero vested interest but act as if you are losing something if he doesn't make a deal that you deem, for yourself I might add, to be fair. Saying you're being too emotional about it is just being nice.

He's already been franchised once. This was his 2nd year being franchised. He's already had to risk his long term deal last year, it's shitty to make him risk it again especially in a position like RB.

How is wanting a long term deal over another 1 year deal being greedy?

He was offered a long term deal that would have made him the highest paid running back in the league and turned it down. That's why he's a greedy prick. Don't try to take that out of the equation.
