Bell is in Pgh -- (fake news)

he can sign tomorrow (Saturday) and collect a paycheck for doing nothing less than most of us have done this week.
if he doesnt sign tomorrow, I'd not expect him to sign before Week 11.

do you know Cranberry Twp will not put a TB there because it's considered the lowest form of food to be consumed for humans? Their loss. . .

IDK if it's considered the "lowest form of food" but the meat itself ranks as the lowest form of meat. I guess it just barely qualifies as meat.
 
So, if he does that and comes in after the Cleveland game. That's 7 game checks.
If the FO decides to do the 2 week exemption, then you are talking 9 game checks.
That's nearly 8 millions dollars he forfeited. Seems like it defeats the whole purpose
of getting the most you can. While reports vary, in the least, Bell was going to get SB/RB and year one salary.
That has to be at least the 23 mil that Gurley got in real guarantees.
How do you help yourself monetarily by forfeiting almost 8 million to keep yourself healthy?
Does he really think someone is going to give him 35 million guaranteed next year?

For a guy that obviously puts the $$$ above his team (which i understand but not agree with), how does this make sense?

I think I will actually be irritated by two things.

1 If the Steelers don't put in for the two week exemption.
2. If they start him over Conner.


I would say 3 they didn't attempt to trade him, but I also fully expect the tool to sign after the trade deadline. But by some miracle he does sign, then add number three to the pot.
 
This thread wins the "WHO CARES" award.

Steelers fans care if he shows up for different reasons. Some wish him traded. Some care if he is spotted because they don't want him to show up at all.

So I will make note that patriot fans are in the "who cares" category.

Gotya.

In describing who you are, look up.............in describing how others feel about you, look down

When he does actually sign which I will still maintain it will be when he absolutely has too sign right before game 11, don’t be shocked if Tomlin inserts him in the starting lineup.
He’s Tomlin’s guy and he thinks Bell gives him his best chance at success. Tomlin is a very shortsighted coach that clearly has never gotten the big picture. He won’t look at the overall affect this move would have on the team but only that he has Bell for a very short time and he’s going to run the hell out of him. That’s who Tomlin is. Too arrogant, cocky and very little feel for the chemistry of the team who plays favorites and who runs a loose and u disciplined team.

Best way to describe him is "loose." He thinks fancy speak fixes all. He's not really in tune with any depth on any issue.
 
JuJu was on ESPN and he said he expects him to be there on Monday so who knows.
 
Oh! Le'Veon Bell's in town, you say??

What I don't understand is why would Bell sit out for so long to preserve his health only to come back before he is required to? That's a lot of money lost to not stay off the field as long as possible to minimize your injury risk.

Theoretically he would come back early to make money and look good for that big FA contract he thinks he's going to get. Realistically I think he signs this year's franchise tag contract about 30 seconds before time expires.

Steelers and Bell’s rep finally talked late last week about terms of a two-week roster exemption, which both sides need to agree to before he rejoins team. Steelers at this point don’t want to pay him during exemption and obviously Bell wants to get paid

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Bell won’t be coming back to the 412 area code until the October 30th trade deadline has passed.


.....
 
**** Bell. he doesnt want to come back until after the trade deadline has passed, but wants to make bank. he could have been making a **** ton of money - and reset the RB pay scale at the same time by agreeing to a contract before the season. now he and his agent fear the two week roster exemption, which they should have considered prior to their foolish stance of not agreeing to a very rich contract.

**** this guy.
 
Delete this ******* bullshit thread!

anybody starting threads without links should be banned too!

**** this guy.

He's reset the total dumbass scale. I wouldn't budge off that 2 week roster exemption pay of nothing. Not a dime.
 
Was at Dick’s today. Lev Bell jerseys are marked down.
