You know what would be hilarious? If Steelers trade him and then he fails a conditioning test.

Or just retires after the first half of his first game.

Another thing to consider is... What team wants him? I mean they know they are going to get a player who is solely thinking of himself (I get that to some extent) but a team if he gets traded to and he doesnt like him what makes you think he'll play for them?

Timing seems terrible. I doubt there are many, if any, teams out there willing to take on that sort of baggage. If the Steelers were going to trade him they should have done so a long time ago. But I don't blame them. They wanted to win now while Ben is still in the building and now he has proved to be a distraction. Better late than never I guess.

Steelers have fucked this all up over a few million dollars. Unbelievable really.

Someone will get him at reduced price.

Saints can't do it because they traded their first.

Carolina and Atlanta don't need him. Look out for Tampa Bay....

their offense hasnt struggled without him.
They could use all the money they were gonna spend on him on their horrible defense!

The Packers should make an offer as their RB's are putrid.

The Packers have two first round selections in 2019.

The sooner the better. Addition by subtraction.

Would be surprised if anyone trades for him.

You would have to give up something worth more than a 3rd round comp, sign him to a huge deal, get him in football shape, and get him acclimated into your offense.

The only reason you would trade for him is if you were terrified of getting into a bidding war for him in free agency but that's still not worth giving up valuable draft capital for.

Yeah but perhaps they pulled a Browns a la Gordon and finally had enough

The difference is Bell likely isn't coming in until you give him $17 million a year and Steelers would get a 3rd round comp pick for him when he's signed away in free agency so you would have to give them something worth more than a end of the round 3rd.

True, but I just meant the Browns finally had enough of him and were willing to finally trade him
