Tampered with Bell? What are the repercussions?

Tampered with Bell? What are the repercussions?

Repercussions? It’s like Kanye West becoming a Kardashian. Two absolutely soulless entities want to co-habitate in sin, we should reward them for staying away from decent Americans.

Any reports of this? Sounds like pure speculation from a quick Google search.

I also bet that the league would be reluctant to admit to shady dealings without clear proof.

??? WTF

This doesn't seem to be relevant at all.

Highly relevant. Highly.

Don't see much about the tampering but it wouldn't surprise me, Florio is reporting that the Jets are going to go after Bell in Free Agency.

Sorry...I'm at work, my brother text me...I usually don't talk in rumors...Just can't get on my phone much and wondering if anyone heard this

[Iron City Inc.]

They talked about it briefly on the FAN today. No real details. Stated it may have been a wink wink deal.

They can have him...

Yes, odds are available for Le’Veon Bell’s next contract
By Mike Florio | Nov 16, 2018, 6:38 PM EST

Prop bets are available for just about anything that can be imagined. In football, odds have been set regarding the next contract to be signed by running back Le'Veon Bell.

According to Bovada.lv, the money line for a contract over four years is -165 (bet $165 to win $100), and for a contract under four years is +125 (bet $100 to win $125).

Take the under (but bet responsibly). Le’Veon Bell will have the leverage to demand a contract that lasts only as long as the full guarantee, similar to the three-year contract signed by quarterback Kirk Cousins in March.

The over/under for the contract has been pegged at $64.5 million. Again, take the under; Bell should be able to negotiate a three-year, fully-guaranteed deal in the range of $54 million to $60 million.

With the Jets expected to be interested in Bell, and given that the Jets were willing to give Cousins a three-year, fully-guaranteed deal, a three-year fully-guaranteed deal for Bell could be coming.

And before anyone scoffs at the idea of paying Bell $18 million or more per year on a short-term deal, consider this: Blake Bortles is making $19 million per year, and Case Keenum is making $18 million annually.

and during the same time period (next 3 years) the Steelers will have Conner for a very small fraction of that...
and yea, I'm including the beginning of his next contract in that #

Glad Bell didn't sign our deal. It looks like his holding out will work out for all parties involved (except for probably the Jets).

I can only hope. After Bell gets broken and beaten down behind that offensively line, he will yearn for the days when he played behind that steeler O-line.
Bell won't make it through week 7 behind that O-line.

If Bell had any sense, he'd end up at Green Bay or Indianapolis and take less money to have a real remaining career.
