It's easy to forget when you've been watching a guy making basically the league minimum to do the same shit that Bell was doing.Originally Posted by pattymayo

In just 7 games, James Conor already has as many rushing TDs as Bell has ever had in any season that he has played, and he is on pace to match the numbers(both rushing and receiving) that Bell put up in his best full season back in 2014. Originally Posted by The Giant

he is sticking it to pitt not signing til after the trade deadline. If i was pitts i would keep playing conner. Bell has 9 tds for season and conner has 7. It is proving many peoples poin. It is the system . I would make it a point to tell people connor is better and if bell doesn't like it he can quit. No way would bell play another down for me. Most pitt is getting is 3rd rounder so he wants to be fresh. Connor doing so well may make teams think about the money that bell wants. He is already the highest paid rb if he would of signed his contract.

Certainly I don't understand what I've read in a lot of places — that Bell might report after the trading deadline so he ensures he's not sent off to another team. If he loves the Steelers that much, he has an odd way of showing it.

it is spite. He doesn't want them to benefit off him. But they get the same pick either way. Hey he went to michigan state. enough said. Originally Posted by floridagolfer

I thought bell had a plan to sign and trade the day of deadline
What's this guys plan
Play next yr for a different team

Only takes 1 dumb team to give bell the big contract- He will get it - Case closed !!

I can't believe this guy still isn't playing football..
Copy and paste news as of a few hours ago -
Perhaps the biggest name who could be dealt today is Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell, who has been holding out after getting hit with the franchise tag again this past offseason. Bell has yet to report to the team, but as of now, it appears more likely that he’ll report this week and finish the year in Pittsburgh vs. being traded.

Do the Steelers have to take him back this year???

good job by connor this year but he's no leveon anybody who watches knows that despite the numbers
-
10-30-18 04:41 PM #192
You sure about that? I thought he wouldnt be eligible for free agency until the conclusion of this year if he reported and was on the roster by the week 11 date that has been floated. If he completely sits this year we are back to square one. Originally Posted by johnnyvegas13

Well, they should just pull the franchise tag tender then. Thats the cleanest way to break this off. Otherwise they leave the door open for him to sign the contract and return. Originally Posted by johnnyvegas13

Good for Bell. He can report after the deadline and force the Steelers to pay him a lot of money to half-arse it for 8 games before he becomes a FA. Alternatively they can withdraw the tag before he reports and let him become a FA immediately without compensation.

I've watched every game this year(they are the hometown team) and You're right about Conor not being Bell. He isn't as good at tap-dancing in the backfield as Bell is.

He had 2 bad games froggy. Dont try to spin that. Another one was good. Rest he has balled out. Originally Posted by Kermit

good for him he's put up good numbers so far thats wasnt a knock on him or anything. he runs hard more straight line runner than bell and doesnt hesitate as much sees where he wants to go and explodes to that point Originally Posted by Kermit

I dont see them paying bell what he wants after seeing what connor can do no team may pay bell and bell may quit demanding as much, connor is a breath of fresh air to remind teams that there's no need to pay that much, im definitely impressed maybe its something about their styles where it seems leveon is more cautious which may lend to more durability or something I dont know, connor is a battling ram out there hope he doesnt get hurt

He is living his dream being a cancer survivor.makes 550000 while bell gave away 8 mill. Yes they have to sign him but don t have to play him. Originally Posted by jtoler

So why do the steelers insist on keeping him for way too much money? Theyre really stupid if they had Conner all along and yet offered Bell the large contract he turned down in the off-season. Originally Posted by Kermit

Whichever GM gives Bell a mega deal after sitting a whole season (definitely possible) should be fired. Just pure stupidity, especially with a RB.
-
10-30-18 05:40 PM #206
Ill repeat, he cant sit the whole season. He doesnt automatically become a FA if he sits. He would still be in danger of being franchise tagged again for the same amount. Originally Posted by slambam

Actually in his 9 TDs so far this year, Conor had just as many 1 or 2 yards plunges as Bell had in his 9 TDs all of last year. Originally Posted by chico2663

didnt know he had cancer, all the best to him. in hindsight it looks like bell shouldnt have held out lol, team didnt budge and now they prob feel they can do without him. every day he's getting older, will be interesting to see if next year a team gives him more than he was making Originally Posted by chico2663
-
10-30-18 05:53 PM #209
Bell is probably out of shape and forgot how to play the game by now.. He might be a bust at this point..
He's been away from the game for a long time now..
