Bell says Steelers ‘had something special’ but ‘let it go’

[madinsomniac]

You know I honestly didn’t think he was stupid enough to sit out all of last year... but I was wrong... the only person who let things go was Bell...

 

[Ron Burgundy]

wssnt he crying about getting too many touches with us?

Beat me to it. I think that's why he never intended to play last year, he didn't want to get hurt before he could be a FA. He only played two complete seasons out of five here.

Let him go? They franchise tagged this ******* for $14+M and he stayed at home. Don't think that qualifies as being let go. Dumb **** gave up a year out of his career and a year of income he will never get back

Yes, but then he signed a contract with the Jests for $17 million less than what the Steelers offered so ... wait ...

He's special.

 

[Hypocycloids]

Bell is right.

The Steelers let go of someone with special needs.
