Not the best possible outcome; I wanted Bell as someone to give Bell a rest instead of constant pounding.
Other than that, the TEAM is better with Conner chemistry wise; which has been lacking lately

This is a good point right here. The Steelers offered Bell $70 million over 5 years and he likely would have seen every cent of it. The only time the Steelers don't pay up is when a player stops performing (Woodley, Allen, etc.) and I didn't expect that from Bell. Although it wasn't "guaranteed" in the terms he wanted, the Steelers basically guaranteed him $30 million over two years. So if Bell does go to a poor team and he doesn't put up 2,000 total yards or if the team struggles and they want to rebuild, he gets cut after three years. He's not going to get a mega contract after he hits 30. Again, I don't care what he does, I just don't see how it made much financial sense.
And you just know that as long as James stays "James", they will.

Emmanuel Sanders said what I’ve been saying all along: Bell could have just purchased an insurance policy if injury was his concern and for a small fraction of what he has forfeited. This was about pride and/or spite for him. He wanted the Steelers and their fans to beg him to return, when that didn’t happen, he decided to sulk and feel sorry for himself and continue to be spiteful.

I think it would be beautiful if, on Wednesday, the Steelers broke their own policy and offered Connor an in-season contract extension that included $14.5M up front.
Thanks for the wet dream, Le'Veon. I truly hope you find happiness elsewhere...
Until I see the Twit that says, "I'm Back Miami". this is all hear say. I'm more surprised that there is no video of him being in Pittsburgh. especially when it's been reported that he was in a Fitness gym, this day an age with cell phones.

I don't think he can pass the Piss Test and he knows it. Once he signs, he pees in a cup and gets suspended for a year.
He has to stay out to protect his payday.

I will say this. All season long, Bell has done the exact opposite to what has been reported.
Sooo, I guess he's showing up on Tuesday?

That's what I am thinking. Who really knows what he is going to do? Until 4pm tomorrow, everyone, including the Steelers are in a "wait and see" scenario with LB.
that ****** will show up at 3:45pm tomorrow.
there's quite literally zero sense in him not reporting today, getting his physical and playbook - if he intends be a positive contributor to the team this season.

I am sort of with you. But I have to go with how really ignorant he is in factoring in his decisions.
It really would be smart for him to report and get some money as a part time player. As no part time player is making that much coin.
But he is dumb enough to think he won't lose anything inactive for a year. I fully expect him to take the window licking approach and not sign the tag.
And with all his issues a team throwing a lot of money up front to him, is as dumb as Bell acts. So in other words the two will be made for each other.
Just as Conner is made for us.......................
He's not going to show up. If he had any interest in helping this team fight for a championship, he would have taken advantage of either the bye week or the short week (Thursday night game) to get closer to football shape and closer to cashing that weekly check for $852,000.
