If Bell shows up, it's not gonna be during a BYE week. If he shows up it's gonna be next week or Week 10. No reason to report anywhere Steelers related this week, at least in his mind.

You know what would REALLY be a hit to his ability to land a monster contract?

If Bell came back and Conner outperformed him. Assuming they would split time, what if it was clear that Conner was the more productive back in the same situations.

I wonder if Bell might be afraid to come back and be subject to that comparison.

I would think it could be a factor, but GMs are probably already looking at Connor's production.

Yards rushing: 453, 5th league wide
Yards rushing & receiving: 710, 7th league wide
TD: 7, 2nd league wide

In all key categories, Connors is no worse than top 7 in the NFL.

It just goes to further show GMs that Bell's production is or was in part a by-product of the Steelers OL, QB and surrounding OFC talent. Does that hurt Bell's value?

I would think a little, but it's not going to flatten it.

I still think some teams will be put off by his antics of putting his personal value above the team, but it only takes one, and I think there will be one.

Conner has already diminished Bell's contract potential.

But coming back and underperforming Conner head to head... That would be brutal. I think that has to be worrying the hell out of Bell right now.

I just think the market for a $14-$15 mil per yr FA RB is not going to be very big regardless. The handful of teams that are there I think would still be there even if Connor were to outperform Bell in a rotation.

Does that mean $12-$13 mil per instead of $15 mil per?...Does it mean $25-30 mil guaranteed instead of $40 mil? It could. I know because of how Bell has handled this deal, most of us would like to see Bell's situation blow up in his face....I don't care so much about seeing him peril, but I do think his strategy could backfire and if it does, he'll have no one to blame but himself.

Me thinks the asshole knows he's just going to embarrass himself if he shows up still looking like the beached whale riding a jetski.


Well then he'll be a perfect match for the fat flabby ass he was smacking in the strip joint.

They should roll them both back in the water and he can always get air from her blow hole.


Seriously, just more bullshit proving this guy can not be trusted at his word. It's pretty obvious him or his word means shit.
And yea, maybe he's doing it to get out of being traded, but it still makes him out to be the asshole.
I'm wondering if his Dumbass could pass a drug test!!!! Think about it, no contact, no testing......

I am no fan of Bell and what he's done, I haven't seen one tweet of him working out or running...is there a reason for this?? BUT I did read that since this is a bye week, there is no game check if the Steelers choose not to do so,....so he will not get paid this week, nor will he lose $855,000, so why would the money hungry Bastard show up?

To show he actually has some team pride......
To show he's not in it just because he's a selfish prick.....

Wait, who were we talking about again????
Oh, Bell.....because his flabby ass needs about 20 miles a day on a stairmaster.

When he comes in, it will be the patented Bettis "Best shape of his life" with his gut hanging over his pants.

Only without Bettis' actual power.

He can work out all he wants.....

He hasn't played football in over a year and a half, so he won't be in shape unless his idea for shape is fighting for air under some strippers fat ass.

That's MY idea of getting in shape.
