it's 4 o ' clock somewhere!

What the hell is he waiting for? Bell is either signing or he is sitting out.

What is the point of delaying this matter....

I wonder if Bell, is still thinking that he is about to lose 14 M. ( Wasn't that the difference in the guarantee of last contract offer, which he dissed?)

Honestly, I can't wait to after we win the Superbowl this year, and then we go into FA to upgrade this team. ( are we going to be players in FA with big cap space)

lol on the flip side of this...why would he do something that makes sense now?

[squidkid]

bell is a POS.
i said the same thing last friday. why not come in and sign today? its isnt like he would have any contact for several days.
i truly believe bell painted himself into a corner and now there is no way he can save face. he has totally looked like a fool throughout this. his only savior is to hang his head and go back to miami and pretend that he had this figured out long ago.
bell has been in a lose/lose situation for some time now

[squidkid]

doesnt he have to pass a physical before being handed the pen?

Returning to Pittsburgh was just a ploy to keep him in as many news cycles as possible. If he didn't come to Pittsburgh, there'd be no reason to talk about him. Nothing left to say.

whats even funnier is the more bell and his agent keep him in the media, the more people talk about how stupid they are and how they really hurt their future earnings

[pittpete]

I think he signs first and then if he passes he's ok to go...

[Starlifter]

i don't think he signs - but if he does, waiting until 4 is just his passive aggressive way of tea-bagging the steelers, tomlin and the rooneys.

hmm, never thought of that... great point.

For a tuesday a quiet day in the NFL, shouldn't there be NFL/Steeler reporters stalked out in front of Levon's house, and at Steelers' HQ.

They dont need to pass a physical to sign, the contract can/will be void if they don't though

Independent neutral physician conducts the physical, but bell would almost certainly pass

i would think it would be the other way around unless it specifically states that the contract is void if a physical isnt passed.

ok, thanks
hmmm, i would think a whole series of xrays and mris wouldf need to be done to look for structural damage

[Terrapin]

Bell's a dope smoking loser. Hope he enjoys getting 300 carries for the Jets or Bills next year

They could also get an exemption where they wouldnt have to pay him until he did pass if they didnt want to void it all together i believe

the thing is, as long as he gets his contract, he wont care
