this came from my sons facebook who is a pats fan. (I blame his mother)
So neither of us are Steeler fans (no reason to spin things)

I personally think Bell fucked himself, & now needs to fire his agent if he pushed Bell to these decisions. he is npow gonna lose a lot of cash in his next Contract. Which I am sure is still gonna be a shit ton of money. (but he lost lost leverage from what it could have been)

Bell & his agent lost big time on this gamble.

It will be interesting to see what Bell gets in a contract

Bell has cost himself some money, no question, but whomever said you should sit out and not take $14 mil so you can ensure your health to maybe make $5 mil more than what PIT offered you long term, that person is stupid. Yeah, he's going to get paid because he's a good player, but also there are teams that have the cap space, and have the position need.

Bakari seems like one of these radical agents with all of these books depicting exploited black labor issues. I can respect having that as some type baseline knowledge, but there is an established market in the NFL for every position. Simply because Bell catches a lot of passes in addition to running, he's not setting a precedent of any kind (Marshall Faulk)...teams are going to pay him for 1 position.

Conner will hold out next year demanding a Bell type contract.
I'd want to give it to him. He's younger and established himself as a key cog on the team.

Old man Bell has too much wear and a pretty long history of missing games in key situations.

He's a better running back already . Not as good in the pass game but for eleventy billion dollars less I think it'll be ok
He's out-producing Bell in the pass game.

The only place that Bell really outshines Conner is in pass blocking. Bell's vision is still better, but Conner is a stronger runner, so he still out-produces Bell anyway.

You do realize he was being a smart ass right?
You do realize who you're talking to, right?

And let's not forget the lack of drama off the field with Conner.

I don't remember the Steelers ever struggling to be able to run the ball. Mendenhall is probably the worst one I can think of and he was decent.

That I agree with. Looks like you guys have another solid guy and that spot locked up for years
