Le’Veon Bell wow.

I just cut out the parts in the article about Bell.

Holy shit what a douchebag.

http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/s...s/201801180124


Quote:
Bell performed as well as expected in 2017 and made All-Pro again. But he also threatened to sit out the year if they put the franchise tag on him for the second time. That tag will be 20 percent higher than last year’s $12.12 million, so make it $14.57.

It’s probably an idle threat, but the Steelers have to be reaching a point where they ask, is he worth it? He turned down their offer last year of a contract that would have paid him more than $12 million on average per year and more than $30 million in the first two. The next highest-paid backs earn $8.5 million per year. His agent wanted to take it, Bell did not.

So what’s to make anyone think they can come to terms on a multiple-year deal this time? If they can’t, using that franchise tag would stress their salary cap because it all would count against it in 2018. Over The Cap pegs their cap room at $2.7 million, pending a rise in the cap, for their top 51 contracts (the only ones who count in the offseason). That does not include Bell.

If they do reach the breaking point, they could use that $14.57 million elsewhere — or not make moves to find the room — and draft another halfback in the first or second round. If Bell leaves as a free agent, the Steelers would receive a compensatory draft pick in 2019, perhaps in the third round.

It’s possible Le’Veon Bell will not play for the Steelers in 2018.
Quote:
Nevertheless, there is another elephant in the room that Rooney, Tomlin and Colbert must address. Are the Steelers’ disciplined enough?

Tomlin never lost the locker room, he had it under control and his players respect him. However, there were many instances in which he could have taken better control, including the fiasco for the national anthem in Chicago.

As another example, Tomlin wants players and coaches to report to the locker room two hours before kickoff for games. That was continually ignored by both players and a coach or two.

Not only did Bell arrive much later than that for the playoff game against Jacksonville (as well as one coach), he missed practically the entire Saturday walk-through the day before, showing up about five minutes before practice ended.

Tomlin’s reaction to Mitchell supposedly yelling at the Jaguars outside their locker room before the playoff game?

“That’s part of what I was talking about in today’s climate,” he replied. “That’s really kind of irrelevant to me.”

Which is even more funny because everyone talks about how Tomlin is such a great leader and commander of men...

And throw in Alex Smiff and right there he gets them from 0-16 to a playoff game. Just like he did with KC.

Just tag him, run him into the ground and move on. NFL RBs don't last long enough to invest that much.

I guess it isn't just Tigger that brings up Smith in every thread.

They will franchise him. No reason not to, he won't sit out the season.

Yep, and if he doesn't show up, he doesn't get paid.


**** him. Normally I side with players against the owners, but he is a real piece of work that's absorbed in his own bullshit world.

He’s a great talent and probably has a few more good seasons left. But I wouldn’t pay him. RBs are dispensable, easily replaced and have been devalued in today’s NFL.

I think he is similar to Priest Holmes. He's in the perfect offense to overblow his skillset.

If Priest would have been on another team without that O-Line he would have still been a decent player, but nowhere near what he was at KC. If Bell leaves, I bet he fades into the wind like a popcorn fart.

Ben has no room to talk. He's a drama queen who is lucky the head coach and team put up with him.

All of that was likely true about him a few years ago, but looking from the outside in over there... he is dead on

The probable HOF QB cant even audible out of clearly bad calls

Big mouth, shit talking HC who presides over divas like Bell and Brown, ripping his Army Ranger LT for daring to go out during the anthem, lets a drunk like Haley stick around... Tomlin has come to believe his own press IMO

Bell has only played 16 games one time. Guy can't stay on the field, so why would he expect a big contract. He's an idiot
