They do guarantee money beyond the 1st year. That's what a signing bonus is. Also, the Steelers tend to turn salary into bonus money quite frequently for their star players, paying them up front for future years performance, and they'll do that multiple times on the same contract.

Also, the Steelers kept a guy like Ryan Shazier, who got paralyzed on their roster and paid out his contract knowing there was almost no chance he'd ever play football again, and STILL keep paying the dude to be on the roster when they don't have to and don't have any real reason to do so, because they aren't a douche organization.

It is much more likely that LeVeon Bell would have seen a higher percentage of the contract (And ultimately total dollars) he would have gotten with Pitt, than he will ever see with the Jets.


That said, I am GLAD that this didn't work out, because his best years are clearly behind him. Even during his best years, he's been a china doll, and we never were able to depend on him in the playoffs. Pittsburgh didn't miss a beat with Conner. Thank you Bell, for being a dumbass!

Yes. How did the Steelers do in the playoffs last year?

Pitt fans are truly delusional and think they are a better team without Bell and Brown, while turning a blind eye to their inept front office and the culture their coaching staff has allowed to divide the team, but letting these clowns all over social media posting about the team. They obviously haven’t learned their lesson as Juju did the exact same thing and went right to social media after AB was traded

Our RB production this season exceeded Bell's last full year. Conner is a Pro-Bowler.

Pitt had Antonio Brown all year, except for that last game that didn't even matter. Steelers had two pro-bowl WR's Still missed the playoffs.

Haven't won a Superbowl with either of these superstars. Won two with Ben, before them though.

I see you are as delusional as the other Pitt fans.

Now that AB is gone — who do you think defenses will be game planning to stop? Juju saw single coverage all year. That will end. He will still get his yards, but it will be much tougher as he will now face the top CB on every team and the doubles AB dealt with, will now be on Juju.

Pitt is the only team in the NFL who could lose two of the top offensive players and getting nothing in return, yet be better because of it:L

How ever did any team manage to win a Superbowl without the great Antonio Brown there to draw attention.

I'm so tired of winning the last 9 straight Superbowls thanks to him.

You won’t have to worry about the SB. Pitt won’t even win their division for the foreseeable — Cleveland is the team to beat now.

One example, AP's been an exception.

Wait till Bell has to run behind a line that can't hold indefinitely to account for his famous patience.

AP is one more example than you've given.

Here's another.
Marshawn Lynch also took off a year and came back. He was better the year he came back than the year before he left.

Bell extended his career by sitting out. He didn't shorten it as you tried to claim.

Steelers' fans are really gullible to the public relations network of the Steelers.

Brown will quickly wear out his welcome with the Raiders.
