for whom the bell tolls

I can only find record of him being franchised in 2010 and that was the transition. Not a exclusive. I dont think the transition tag is a bad thing as it gives players freedom to negotiate elsewhere. The exclusive is the bad one.

 

Love to know what it feels like to be a disgruntled millionaire You know what they say, money can't buy happiness. I sure would not mind testing that theory.

 

My money is on him in philly.

 

The SB title is going to be extra nice this year. lol

 

Hold your horses..

 

Yes from reading through the CBA on franchise tags it is open to interpretation on whether it should be a 2nd or 3rd tag. Will they go to court to argue that? I guess we'll see.

I agree he already penalized himself, but I would think that the NFL/Steelers would go all out to fight this so it doesn't set a precedence where multiple star players of the NFL are taking a 1 year vacation.

Just my opinion I guess I'm just disappointed, I know Conner is awesome but with Bell and him working together I just think we would have that much better chance of getting the Super Bowl we all crave!

 

I'm speaking out of spite haha

 

Well at least we won't be beating them anymore....

 

Oh how that would hurt me. Has been great so far with the eagles having a hard time just trying to get into playoffs. I told their faithful that every year is different but they were soooooooo sure that 2 in a row would be no problem.

 

And so.... the ball has finally dropped on that idiot in 3...2...1.... BOOM

 

Not a big surprise and doesn’t hurt my feelings at all. Now the locker room can be spared from his circus.

 

Now... can we please move on? I don't care about Bell anymore. He will never be a Pittsburgh Steeler ever again. And we didn't win anything of significance while he was here.

 

Its over. The media will have to write about the actual games now I guess. Oh well.

 

Yep i can see the NFL pushing for a Steelers-Saints SB right now lol

 

I'm officially begging TTF to move any new and current Bell posts and threads to General NFL Talk
He is no longer a Steeler at this point....

 

What are the Twitter stalkers going to do now?

 

I really hope this ends up a Todd Bell/Al Harris kinda deal where Bell watches his former teammates win the big game and he never sniffs another title opportunity.

 

I'd love to see that but tbh I don't even know if Bell would care at this point.

 

you know this league leading Bell/Brown at their positions was nice and all but like you said it got us nowhere. Brown blanketed and Bell hurt in the playoffs.

This new offense where everyone gets love is dangerous, and Ben loves it.

 

LMAO

 

He and his agent want the transition tag as it will allow them to suggest to anyone they negotiate with that they need to go big or Pittsburgh will match the offer. Yes he has to suffer the indignity of going hat in hand back to the Steelers to ask if they will match but they can jack the price up past what the Steelers can possibly afford.
