LeVeon Bell to return soon

He said on his Twitter account he's returning 9-1

I will only believe it when Schefter or Rappaport report. Literally everything they say about the Steelers always turns out to be true. They are the ultimate Steelers insiders. Tomlin actually attends THEIR press conferences.

 

What an a-hole. Not steelers material.

 

yay

 

There is something that does not seem right, when a player says when he is going to report to camp. Seems very like a non team player....Whats he trying to prove..

 

That's the day after the last preseason game. Right or wrong, he is clearly trying to eliminate chances of injury. On a 1 year contract, I understand his logic. That gives him 9 days to practice and bond with the team. That is plenty.

After reading the twitter feed, I was reminded why I don't read twitter. It's just a series of posts by knuckleheads who want to voice their opinions!

Hey, wait a minute...

 

I know it would set us back and be wasted but I would love it if they pulled the tag right when his plane landed.

 

I know I'll get over it if he comes back and has a monster season, but right now I'm like F.U., especially posting a date in the future. He put himself above the team, and there's not much more you can do to lose my respect.

Let's go #30!!!

 

The only players ticked will be the ones who couldn't do the same thing.

 

Most hold outs tend to have bad years.I don't think Bell will be as good this year because of the missed time .He is not going to sign a future contract so I would consider a trade this season if the price was right .

That price to me would be a good DB and a high draft pick .

 

He hasn't held out. He doesn't have a contract.
Most hold outs actually hold out for a big chunk of the season, don't stay motivated, and that's why they have poor years.
He may still sign a future contract. At the very least, he is a steeler for next year if they want him.
I don't believe a trade can be made.
Other than that, I agree.

 

Steelers' Tomlin preaches importance of physicality during preseason

(via http://thesco.re/theScore_app )

Tomlin has a good point here about the physicality and mental prep and Bell is missing out.

 

Ok, up until now I've thought his waiting was just business, not trying to get hurt, and he wasn't being selfish, and the other players would understand, blah, blah. Now, in my local Hooterville paper I read Ben has texted Bell a couple of times and has not gotten a response. Now that doesn't sound very team mate oriented. I just soured on him.

 

It might be bad for the overall team, but he should ride the pine for a while.

 

Being in shape and being in football shape is worlds apart, will take him at least

3-4 weeks to hit his playing capabilities. That's if he doesn't injure himself in the process.

 

See ya, douche bag... That's what it means.

 

If Hayden works out, a big IF? Bell's playing days in the Steel City have just about ended.

 

The Steelers want him to stick around but not at a high price, I think they are hoping a championship run, his teammates camaraderie, and the family like atmosphere would help him see that a nice 12 to 14 million a year with two years fully guaranteed still resets the market and makes him very well to do. If not then yeah you will be rapping about not getting fully guaranteed money some where out of the 412

 

Really sad, great team building huh?
