    On the Depot they linked a video he posted saying he needs 17 now because 26 ain't enough and not happy with the tag.

    Wow...you know he's gonna get tested. Because, clearly, he's smoking again. He's a phenomenal talent, but 15 a yr was out of the question and 17 mil a yr is absurd .

    Run him into the ground and let James Connor eventually take his place.

    He aint worth 15. Was glad he turned it down. Say by next year for all i care. Dont get me wrong, he is good. If defense improves and bryant stays clean, we can win without him

    We thought he wasn't serious when he rapped about wanting $15 million. Now he's "joking" about $17 million? He must really want off the team.

    Here's the full breakdown. AB posted a video on Snapchat of Bud rapping about where's 26, he's no savage. Then the video above was Bells response. Then Bud did a periscope and said he's got the best and 2nd best receiver on his side, AB and Bryant. Then Shazier said he's worth the 17 and Bud was like Ooo you are on the other side. Then Bell said they are just joking around and having fun. It definitely seems like harmless fun but also could be undertones that it is causing a rift.

    Tag him in 2018, then let him leave as a FA. RBs are easy to find in the draft.

    He's a special player but not worth that much money. As has been stated here and other places, you tag him next year and just run him into the ground. I've lost a lot of respect for this kid. Makes me sad because I really liked him.

    He will help in the cause for #7 this season. Then it's let go time. Some team will pay him the 17. The Steelers will not. And tagging him next season is not an option in my opinion.

    Id be shocked if they dont tag him again.

    Either

    A) Ben retires and they need the offensive weapons to help the rookie QB. Bell is a tremendous safety valve.

    B) Ben doesnt retire and keeping the offense fully loaded goes a long way trying to reach the SB.

    I don't see any team giving any RB including Bell 17 million a year, especially one like Bell who has missed time with injuries and suspensions. If the Steelers tag him next year it will be around 14 million.

    Isn't this what was said when he rapped he's going to need 15..... He then came out and said its just a song and loved and wanted to stay in Pittsburgh then contract time he stuck to his 15 guns???

    In fact the front office gave him 15 a year for first two yrs then 12 the 3rd and he turned it DOWN!!!!!

    Was he " really" just joking around??
