Offense is not the Steelers problem at all. It's the defense. Keith Butler needs to fuckin go!!!! ASAP!! You score 37 points at home with 0 turnovers your suppose to win that game!! Period!! It falls on the defense.

Yeah but when you throwing it 60 times? That's a recipe for disaster.
 
Either his savings account is strong or he about to be featured on the next episode of broke. Don’t care if you’re part of the 1% or the 99% a lot of people can’t afford to go a year without a paycheck

He would if he keeps playing under that tag and not getting that guaranteed $$$

That rookie Barkley got like $30 mil guaranteed before he ever took a snap....that's less than the franchise tag they want Bell to play on...again

Right but that was a result of the DEFENSE giving up 21 POINTS!! IN OTHER WORDS LE'VEON BELL WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A SHITS WORTH OF DIFFERENCE AGAINST THE CHIEFS. ITS THE SAME WAY THE PLAYOFF GAME AGAINST THE JAGS. YOU SCORE 42 POINTS AT HOME AND LOSE!!? THAT SHIT IS ON THE DEFENSIVE.

Le'Veon at playing weight versus him now. Fam is enjoying life not giving a fuck about football. Even if he gets a deal it might take him 2 months to get into game shape

 
This shit didn’t go the way Le’Veon spreewell thought it would. He thought their running game would suffer AB would still be doing AB then the Steelers would practically be begging him to return... so on the next episode of Broke 2025 we feature former nfl star running back...
 
Connor is younger and has a cheaper salary, so. :smh:

and what team is a RB away from the Super Bowl? His market isn't going to be what he thinks it will be.

He got bad advice

He can push any team over the top not going to deny his skill but his attitude and this holdout cost him no team wants to put up with that. Now there are stories of him being mad at his agent for not knowing the rules. FOH when is it ever a good idea to say let’s stay home from work and try to get more money.

Like NFL Vets say Bell is one of the top 2 RBS in the league. Its him and Gurley and then Zeke. Connor don't touch his skill set and his legs real fresh.

I could see the Texans throwing bank at him. They need a true 3 down back that can catch and block. And they'll have the cap space.

But yeah...i think his days with the steelers are done after this season.
 
Bell doesn't have to play this year like previously stated his tenure makes him available to be a free agent next year.

No it doesn’t they can franchise him again next year

No. They can't. This has been completely misunderstood. He doesn't have to step on the field and he would become an unrestricted free agent. That's why it wasn't clear whether he was going to come back at all. Go look it up.

That's not completely true. They can add a transition tag on him. He owes another year of service to the Steelers if he sits out. Steelers can match any offer another team gives Bell. That's not the definition of unrestricted. And, if no one offers him a deal after asking what he wants, the transition tag is cheaper than the Franchise tag. Bottom line what I've been saying is his agent gave him some bullshit ass advice. Either that, or he fully doesn't understand what's going on here.

As I said they can still put the tag on him next year but as the article points out they likely won’t because of the giant number

Technically, they could franchise him again but we all know at $25M for one season, that's not going to happen. He'll be a free agent man.. that much is obvious.

"Either with a franchise tag which will pay him more than $25 million next year, which is not a thing the Steelers are going to do because the cost is too prohibitive. Or the Steelers will give Bell the transition tag, which will effectively make him a free agent, because he'll be able to negotiate a deal with another team. "

Free Agent but not unrestricted free agent if he doesn't play a game. He's going to play. They're going to play the shit out of him too to get their money's worth. He'll be on another team

And if they didn't want to pay him this year, they're not going to match him next year.

We won't know if he's made the smart play until next season. If a team like the Texans give him guaranteed money consistent with a player of his value (RB1 and WR2 combined), he's going to get paid. And having 200 less carries on your body (if he comes back and gets a full workload to finish the season) going into free agency helps your case and decreases the chances of a major injury. Bell was getting 400 touches a year. He deserved the bread. Most people admit that after Gurley got paid but the Steelers didn't want to set the RB market and after Gurley got paid it was too late.

Conner balling out made him less valuable to the Steelers but Connor still has only been this productive for 8 games.. we'll see.
 
We won't know if he's made a good decision until next season. I guess he's banking on getting more guaranteed money that would make up for the 9M in salary he'll lose and in the NFL that's what it's really all about.... ESPECIALLY at the RB position because they have the shortest shelf-life.

Nah. You wrong on that. He's gonna split carries with Conner. No way they take Conner off the field for someone who sat out that long. Now, where this benefits the Steelers is having Bell line up at WR and Conner in the backfield. Take Switzer or Washington off the field and have Bell in the slot. Causes matchup nightmares with Conner and Bell in the huddle at the same time. You have to keep a base defense out there which likely means Bell will be matched up against a linebacker. Samuels probably won't dress when Bell cames back but those guys will spit the carries. Trust, Conner is not coming off the field.
