Le’Veon Bell not expected to report by deadline
 

Dude is going to sit out the entire season LMAO

Turned down a 5 year $70 million contract, i didn’t understand the logic of that.

I’m enjoying this saga extremely.

I hate Bell AND the Steelers, and this is the worst outcome for both parties!

You could tell the Steelers were preparing for this Thursday night.

They’re starting to get their other backs involved because they know they need Conner healthy for the stretch run.

Whoever is advising Bell financially is doing a poor job. He will never make up the money he has lost this season. What a moron.

Do they just franchise him again to try to prove a point? Or line up a trade and cut bait?

Transition tag, then trade and extension. Allows them the opportunity to match his offers.

I would ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

thanks to an early Chiefs Steelers week 2 matchup I was following the L. Bell situation closely. . this translated into me taking James Conner early in all of my fantasy leagues. .

been rolling all year with J. Connor. .

thanks fantasy Gods are smiling on me

There will be no trade with the transition tag. Steelers aren’t going to match and he will walk.

they wont because of some clause in the NFL players contract he'd be tagged under the QB clause so they would have to give him 25mill..

thats why he made this decision. . they wont tag him at 25 mil for 1 year

At a certain point it's going to backfire for them because potential FA's they could want will take notice. They should just gladly bank the cap space he didn't eat up and take a 2020 cond 3rd rounder.

They're doing fine without him.

No, he turned down $30 million. The contract you reference allowed the Steelers to cut ties without paying him much guaranteed money.

I think they still transition tag him, avoids same thing from happening.

He should fire his agent. Show up, dont play collect money. If they transition next year sit out til week 10. The fact he doesnt understand he might waste 2 prime years is hilarious. Rb careers are soo short.

Or come back and sow discord and have them cut you.
