Bell unlikely to report

[bksballer89]

Don’t see any way he can make up losing $14m and now with Connor doing so well it has to bring into question how unique his talents are in the first place.

True but let's say he showed up since week 1, tears his achiiles during the season then guess who is making barely anything next season?

I understand his thinking but I just wouldn't have done it for the entire season

We'll see what contract he gets in free agency. If he gets the contract he is seeking then it will be hard to call him a dumbass

He doesn't get to be one, does he?


This contract year never happened.

Or won't happen, it's a long way to Tuesday.

Honestly, this may turn out fine for both parties. The Steelers have found a real gem with Conner and will be fine moving on from Bell. Bell saves a year of wear on his body and may still get the payday he is looking for from another team.

Happy ending for all?

Le'Veon Bell rumors: Steelers RB, agent discovered CBA loophole allowing him not to play in 2018

I'm leaning toward this. This is a business and I don't think either party is stupid. This situation is a rarity. Usually, one blinks by now. It doesn't look as though either will, but who knows? Bell gets a season off with no wear and tear on his body. Next, will be which teams desire his services...? BUF, DEN, NYJ, IND, TEN, OAK, PHI, WAS, DET, ATL, TB, SF, SEA...Anyone else?

Won't get tagged for the same reason Suh didn't.


But he could, theoretically.

Lions traded up for a RB, who has done sorta well. Crazy good considering he's a Lion.


Can't say there's no way, but I don't see them as a real landing spot. It's the Lions though, so maybe.

i dont see anyone wanting to pay 17million

 

[broncosmitty]

I wouldn't think so.


It's prolly personal now though, so going out of their way to fuck him could be possible.

I don't see why he'd get that number. Since he isn't getting paid this year, I'd think the math works off his most recent contract value, last year. But I have no idea what's gonna happen with this crazy mess.

Wasn't it just short of 15 this year though?

Assuming the Cap goes up a little that won't be much higher of percent of the total.

you may be right, but i thought i read if he doesnt report, and they tag him again, its 25million

People still play Fantasy Football?

Three options were listed in the article.

Most likely, to me, was the transition tag option.

thats what im thinking as well. Its really the only viable option

 

[rmilia1]

i

it did, but this is more recent like this past week..........and everyone said " no hes coming"

Yeah why would he play for 5 million when he wouldn't play for 14? Lol
