    No need for name calling.

    If he signed for 52 with a chance to make 61 mill why can’t that number be used?

    The 4 years a 52 isn’t a bad contract to begin with. He could’ve made another 14.5 but we know why he didn’t. He didn’t want to risk an injury. He didn’t risk 409 more chances to get hurt and we missed the playoffs.

    It’s not like we won anything in this saga.

    Most people claiming victory said Bell wouldn’t get anywhere near the 35 mill guaranteed and thought he would get 10 per year.

        You don’t have to post anymore if you are over him.

        I’m sure we are going to keep an eye on Bell and AB to see if they fail or not. Anyone who claims they aren’t are probably lying to themselves.

                oh im "Over Bell".. and have been for a good while. im not sure what posting in a discussion forum on the topic has to do with any of that.

                You asked in another thread when we could all be "Over"AB.. eluding to the idea that you were over him... yet you were posting about him... lol

                    That was sarcasm. We should be able to talk about former Steelers in threads labeled about them.

                    If someone has an issue with it just avoid the thread.

                    I could see if someone was hijacking threads but it’s a Leveon Bell thread and he signed less than 24 hours ago.

                          When I was gone all you guys did was dog out the team and the coaches and the owner and the GM.

                          Maybe I should leave again so you guys can get back to bashing the team.

                              Deadspin had a great breakdown of the contracts by Gurley, Bell and Johnson. They do a great job peeling back the layers to get to the meat of the contracts.

                                Except it fails to mention what Bell was REALLY after and failed to get. He wanted to reset the bar for rb pay because they touch the ball more than most anyone in offense. But he didn’t figure in that rbs are easier to plug in than other skill positions. He was never going to get $17M/year, whether he’s truely savage or not.
