He will go to another team and get fisted.
He simply can’t run “patient” like he does at Pitt anywhere else. He will be a 3 ypc/4TD back. I am shocked Pitt even offered him the other contract. |

I'm not emotional about it at all. I just think that he's being greedy and I hope that he gets burned for his actions. I can't stand Bell or the Steelers. If Bell died tomorrow or the Steelers franchise closed their doors forever tomorrow, I would just say good riddanced and go on. It's just the principle of these players turning down more money per year than most people see in a lifetime because they think that they're worth more. That is pure greed. What can Bell do with$80 million that he can't do with $70 million? Either amount is more money than he and his kids and his kids kids can ever spend, so what's the point of the whole thing? Greed! Nothing but greed!

Lol Good Lord, man. How much money does anyone need?
People like to get paid what they're worth- surprise! You're worth what someone will pay you. Leveon obviously believes someone out there (probably IND or NYJ) will pay him more than the $30m guaranteed the Steelers offered. |

Maybe so. But if so, he could have worked something out with them where he signs the tag if they agree to trade him. But he didn't even do that. Besides, that is pure speculation. We have no idea if he feels that way.

Part of me hopes the Steelers play hardball and tag him again next year. Use the money saved this year to front load a few contracts of his teammates in the current season. If Bell does the same thing next year, they can use the money in November/December again.
The guaranteed money is $25 million, though, and that's probably too much to have on the books for that long. They should probably still front load some contracts in this season so that they have a lot of cap space next year and then transition tag him. That would make it harder for another team to offer a contract that they simply couldn't afford--and perhaps give them some leverage in a potential trade scenario. |

I wish Bell all the best as he figures this out. As for the Steelers, not so much.

He didn't want to play on the tag twice. Didnt like their offer so he's gonna sit and take his chances next year. He's not screwing them out of money so what's the big deal? All with in his rights.

It shows to me that he is only in football for the money. He doesn't care about the game. A contract to be the highest paid RB in the game and he turns it down. Skipping a year of play in his prime by not signing the tag. RB's are a disposable commodity. There are really good ones coming out of college every year. LB isn't Gale Sayers or Jim Brown. He's just a really good running back who started believing the hype train his agent was driving and he'll be lucky to play again unless he adjusts his demands.

It wasn't worth the financial risk at age 26. He'll get more than $30 million guaranteed next year...which is the only part of a contract that matters. He knew that at age 29 and 800 touches later...he wasn't going to have as much value. It was a numbers game...and @$25 million guaranteed next year, he's almost breaking even for a year less damage.
