The Steelers hold the cards with him right now because he's still under contract for 3 more years. What he's failing to see, is his attitude right now will limit the teams willing to risk trading for him. The Steelers will get him traded, or he'll play for the Steelers or sit out and not get paid. Those are the only choices. How is that holding all the cards?
Let me put it in more simple terms. You can pay him 12mil per year or you could pay 7mil to get rid of the problem. You take the 5+ mil savings and put it toward helping the team. The Steelers cut off their nose to spite their face when it came to Bell. The 14 mil they tied up could have gotten a player who could put them over the top. All you Steelers fans believe his contract enslaves AB but slavery ended decades ago.
