If they were willing to do that I'd think they would have simply not tagged him this year.
And wouldn't he be due well north of $20 million at that point? Pretty sure the third year in a row you franchise someone the percentage of the...
I don't see how they can punish him for conduct detrimental to the team when the conduct was something that occurred when he was not a member of...
I could see him go downhill fast simply because that seems to happen to all RBs but he is not simply a product of the offensive line.
Ben already has a $23,000,000 cap hit this year. If they are extending him I would expect them to free up more money under the cap, not less....
Why on earth would you think that? He might be a douche but he is a supremely talented one.

Spoiled brats? They work like hell all year to be in shape and then punish the heck out of their minds and bodies to play the game. And if the...
So the Steelers don't ever cut players with years left on their contracts? I fail to see why they are allowed to get away with that but Bell is...
Why should they be grateful that someone is willing to pay them for their unique skills? The NFL makes billions on their backs. If anything the...
I think he is working within the rules. Nobody excoriates the Steelers when they cut a guy who has years left on his contract but for some reason...
Yeah, it is out and Dobbs is the backup.
Employers don't do it out of the kindness of their hearts. They employ people in order to make money. I guess I'd feel less sympathetic towards...
I really hope the team doesn't do anything just to spite Bell. That would be counterproductive. They should play him or not play him based...
If I were going to be upset about the inequities in pay in our society I would not start with NFL players. And the players aren't scamming the...
The Steelers Depot guys have been tossing around that idea all preseason. I honestly don't know much about Simon. I don't pay very close...
Yep. They are the ones putting their bodies and minds on the line. Just look at a reunion of an old NFL football team. It's like an episode of...
Even setting aside Bell and who goes when he is activated, does anyone think this is the 53 for Cleveland? I certainly don't. The Steelers have...
I thought it was a minimum of 8 weeks for IR designated to return and a minimum of 6 weeks for starting on the PUP.
I think they could work on a sign and trade. I am pretty sure he has to have signed the franchise tender to actually trade him though.
