That idiot would have to average more than $17Mil a year for about 5 years (a running back? seriously?)to make up what he fucked away this season.

Fucking moron.

He extended his career. Steelers were running him into the ground and weren't going to pay him for it. They left him no choice.

NFLPA should argue for a cap on touches. That would suck. Blame the Steelers for gaming the system.

Yeah man. Of course the opposing DC can tell his defense, "Completely ignore Bell. We know he isn't getting the ball. He's reached the cap on touches".

Report: Le'Veon Bell seeking $17M annually It's $3 million higher than Todd Gurley's average salary. Bell also wants $45 million guaranteed. It's a lot of money for a 27-year-old coming off a holdout at a devalued position, but Bell is going to get overpaid this offseason. With the Steelers expected to transition tag Bell, teams may be forced to frontload Bell's contract.

Don't care, yesterday's news. That guy has had his last 1000 yard rushing season. He'll play next year, average about 3.4 yards per carry, get hurt around game 6 or 7, miss a month and a half, come back for the last two games, and look like shit. Career decline had already set in for him before the holdout.

Me too.

Some team will pay that, the question is what are they giving up in return. You pay any non QB that type cash you are bound to lose talent somewhere else on the team due to cap space. I like Bell's game but that seem like a lot.

True, but teams will look at it as a free year of rest that wasn't injury related

Some desperate GM/Owner will pony up I bet, maybe in the 15mil a year range

They might also look at it like, this dude is a complete ass who was under contract and bailed on his team.

Whatever team overpays this douchebag had better revamp their entire offensive line too, retrain them to hold their blocks forever while Twinkletoes dances in the backfield making up his mind where he wants to go..Bell was a pure product of the Steelers O-Line and it is doubtful he will have the same success elsewhere. So go ahead and pay the Motherfucker $17 M/ year.

You gotta know when you're beat in life. The Steelers worked Bell's career perfectly and always had the leverage. He should've sucked it up and rode off into the sunset as a popular Steeler's player during the Big Ben era.

I think we're average 4 solid running backs coming into the NFL lately. Running backs are too common right now to get real NFL franchise money.

I wouldn't be shocked if Bell had 2 more good seasons in him. Maybe 3. Thats not worth $17 million in todays NFL. Maybe $12-14 million.

Ben threw it 47 times yesterday...I suppose the Steelers are throwing his arm off too...lol.

Yes sir...now we want to cap touches. O brother. Here's to Bell going to PHI so can make $17 mil a yr and have more rational touches....lol
