Reasons why NFL star players like Bell and Julio jones want $

I read where Jones is now running around with Terrell Owens. This will just go from bad to worse.

 

Unfortunately a guy like Bell so hung up on himself would not even read that article and think it was directed toward him and other selfish players. Feel like you would pretty much have to come right out and call him out by name in order for him to get a clue lol

 

Mean while if Ben plays out his current contract the Rooney's/ Steelers have paid him about 200 million dollars over his career. Ben don't need to poor mouth, he has
been paid really well for his career.

 

The NFL salary system is pretty cutthroat where nothing or very little is guaranteed, but I still prefer it to NBA where a guy can be traded not ever play for his new team and they are somehow on the hook for 10 mil for 2 years. I think it happened to the Raptors with Akeem Aljawawn I am sure I butchered the spelling lol .

 

Players want more $$
Owners want more $$
Fans pony up more $$
I'm in the wrong group

 

As a die-hard Steeler fan, I like Le'Veon Bell & appreciate all his production ..but I pray we don't pay him $17 million multi years. It's not like he is helping us win rings, he's a big chunk of our offense but he is replaceable at a cheaper price. We got a tight budget & have other players to pay...

 

I've noticed most people here think it would be the end of the world if the Steelers lost Bell. No, it would not. Losing Shazier had a much bigger impact on the Steelers team than losing Bell would. By a long shot. It's gonna take a few seasons to fully recover from losing Shazier. Bell can be replaced in the 2019 draft or through a good FA pickup like we did in the past with Bettis, Duce Staley, DeAngelo Williams, Mewelde Moore, etc... the list goes on.
