so why did they tag him a second time? to spite him. so happy it blew up in their face.
No, they gave him what he's worth, for a RB that already had an MCL tear, and had previously gotten arrested and suspended.
nah, i'm not wrong. only $10m was fully guaranteed. if he had a career ending injury in training camp he would only get $10m.
I know. I said that.
what does that even mean? bell will make his money. the stealers couldn't even make the playoffs without him. they're good at stealing money from players but not so good at playing football without the player they're trying to screw over.
Why is that such a hard statement to comprehend? The Steelers will not put one player over the rest of the team.
You are probably right that he'll go to some other team, get his money, and heck, maybe that team goes to the playoffs. More than likely he'll go to a team on the level of the Redskins or Bucs, and just fade away.
The Steelers organization will continue to do their business, might be hard for a year or two, but they'll be consistently winning again.
It was a little over 10m in full gauranteed money. The 33m is what he would have made in 1st 2 years, not his guaranteed money. Even at 33m guaranteed that would be less than Gurley and 3m more than david Johnson, 2 guys bell had out produced at the time
It was what they called a "rolling" gaurenteed. Whatever that means, I don't really care. Point is that he got offered a substantial amount for a RB with baggage. Todd Gurley and David Johnson don't have that baggage.
It’s been widely established it was a low ball offer, so I don’t get the point in trying to make it seem other wise. Steelers are known to not give huge gauranteed money and this was another case of it
Exactly, the Steelers won't give that much and that's how they run their franchise. And I am not going to go against a franchise that runs like they do. Especially over one RB. Players will come and go.
Idk people keep throwing around that 70 mil deal like that’s what it really was lol. And we will see next year what James Connor can do to me he is a slightly better Rookie Zac Stacy. JuJu is a gonna be a good one but he definitely benefited from having AB drawing all the attention.
Are any contracts every really that? He got offered a deal, wanted more, and gave the finger to the team that put up with him. Steelers don't owe him shit now.
James Conner isn't as pure a talent as Leveon Bell, everyone knows that. He's still a really good RB. Besides, even if he does falter, the team will find a replacement in the draft.
He's way better than Zac Stacy, too. Not just slightly.
