Joey Porter Jr contract negotiations

HMMM.
Here I thought a breakfast of 1 or 2 Blue Moon Extra would give a bump in VIT C to survive this trip

 

I don't think anybody wrote anything like that about Porter. He was just working through his obsession with Pickett. I mean, it has to be that, right? Such a well-respected poster couldn't just be hoping to start trouble, could he?

 

Bell’s own mama
Called him stupid

 

That’s like saying Beetlejuice

And there he was

 

Wonder if that was before or after he was ordered to pay $25MM to his cousin for sexually assaulting her (from the time she was 7 years old)?

 

?
Bell assaulted his cousin?
I was referring to the offer the Steelers made to Bell in which he turned it down to sit out a season
Mama Bell was ashamed she raised a Dumb Bell

 

did le'veon bell assault his cousin



Former NFL running back Le'Veon Bell was ordered by an Ohio jury to pay $25 million in a civil lawsuit after his cousin, Jada Bell, accused him of long-term sexual abuse. [1, 2]

The Lawsuit and Judgment

• The Allegations: Jada Bell filed a civil lawsuit in March 2024 in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Ohio. She claimed that Le'Veon Bell and his brother, La'Vonte Bell, subjected her to nonconsensual sexual abuse beginning when she was a young child and continuing for about a decade. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• The Court Outcome: A jury awarded a default judgment of $25 million against Le'Veon Bell and over $11 million against his brother after Le'Veon failed to appear or respond to the initial court hearings. [1, 2, 3]

The Defense and Response

• Le'Veon Bell's Denial: Le'Veon Bell Ordered to Pay $25M After Cousin’s Sex Abuse Claimnotes that Bell and his legal team adamantly deny all allegations. [1, 2]
• Service of Process Dispute: Bell stated that he was never properly served with the legal complaint and only learned about the lawsuit shortly before the judgment was finalized. He is currently working to appeal and reverse the default judgment. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Wow
I didn’t know this. A fine upstanding citizen
Shame on the Steelers for not giving him a blank check to fill out
Shame on us for blaming Mikey T for not winning playoff games in the last decade
When it was the Steelers fault for not paying Bell a blank check to fill out

 

Im nor arguing about Bell. What I'm saying is it's not a sure thing that a player that sits out s year in a pay dispute is automatically going to suck when he comes back. That's all. John Riggins sat out a year in a contract dispute and then had a hall of fame career. Sitting out usually destroys your leverage for a better contract i suppose due to teams not wanting that kind of player on their team. So it rarely works. The team still holds the rights to the player so I'm not sure what he gains by Sitting out. I suppose he can try it but it probably doesn't end well for him

 

Who said it was all their fault? Bell is an idiot. His agent was an idiot. The team didn't help itself, either, but there were no winners in all that.

 

give me a countdown clock

 

It's as if we needed someone crap all over the thread, and there he was.

 

Who crapped all over the thread?

 

That is subjective, but I'd point to the guy doing nothing but try to pick a fight over the folks having genuine differences in opinion.

 

you do realize we tried to sign Bell and gave him a pretty good offer.

I seem to remember a lot of people crashing out when he didn’t sign (fans AND Steeler players).

 

I’m pretty sure Porter is a top 5 CB when you look at CB’s signing or negotiating for a new contract

Gonzalez
Witherspoon
McDuffie
Ward
JPJ

 

I don't doubt it. I just don't remember it.

 

Porter is more valuable than Ward. I think he is already better, and he's a good bit younger.

 

umm.. yes you can. A million is still a million. We tend to forget that everything gets taxed so run me my money. Get all you can, while you can because once its over.. its just podcasting checks if you are lucky.

 

I’m not even arguing over placement. I just think folks forget that in contract years if you are in the top 5 at your position you want to get paid like it.

and what CB doesn’t think he is the better than the rest? lol

 

Sure, a beyond fair offer that he turned down. Exactly why I said Bell saved the Steelers from themselves.

 

What he is saying is there is no difference in lifestyle between $32M and $33M. Tell me that isn't true.
