    Really?
    I seem to remember several team mates go public and call him out.
    That usually doesn't happen.
    How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

      Exactly why did they call him out? They wanted him with the team. Some of those teammates eventually understood his position in regard to the "business" aspect of the game. I am pretty sure they would welcome him back if the opportunity arises.

          They called him out because he told several of them he was coming back which turned out to be a lie.
          "My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"

            I know what happened. Some people were upset initially. He had the right to change his mind regarding his business. Once they realized the situation they were ok with Bell. They would had been ok if Bell returned.

              The bigger problem was Pouncey trying to talk for Bell and giving the media a date even when he admitted he didn’t confirm the date with Bell.

              Foster also opened his big mouth and showed his backside.

              One thing a player
              should never do is talk about another players contract negotiations publicly.

              I was mad when Bell didn’t show but it’s business and he didn’t break any rules.

                    It was confirmed that the Steelers did indeed inquire with the injury to Conner.

                        I don't think Bell has gone over 4.0 in a single game. The self-styled "franchise" RB couldn't even get his miserable dog-ass team past the tanking Dolphins.

                          Bell got paid so he’s happy regardless. I’m satisfied with watching him becoming irrelevant.

                                Like I said, glad nobody traded for him.
                                Even tho I don't think he cares about winning, deep down I still think he thought he would save that franchise and make them relevant.
                                How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?
