Bell is, once again, holding them by the balls:
I still wonder what this has to do for team morale and if they're ok with just being like "ok, we're here working our asses off, but Bell won't show up for 14 million dollars," especially when they know he'll likely be hurt as soon as he signs a long-term deal (if the Steelers ever fold and give him one).
Bell's a *****.
This is exactly the same crap you parroted last year. How'd that work out for ya? Let's see....he had the most carries, by far, of any back in the entire league...no injuries. Morale was so bad, they went 13-3 and were a few seconds away from playing in the AFC championship game. The whole "he's afraid of Burfict" thing is so overplayed and laughable that Bell doesn't even bother with him. It took a pimply-faced rookie...the youngest kid in the NFL...to take care of Burfict.
The Steelers won't cave. They'll pay him under the tag, just like last year, run his wheels off into the ground, just like last year, he'll be top 3 in carries and yardage, just like last year, he'll help them go far into the playoffs, just like last year, have at least 200 yds and a 4.0 avg in 2 games against the Bengals, just like last year.
The only thing that will be different this year is that after this season, the Steelers will hold the door open for him and let him walk to some other team stupid enough to pay him what he wants....and not a single Steeler fan will be upset. Most wanted him gone this year to free up more money for the defense. The only thing in question, and still remains to be seen, is whether they let the door hit him in the ass as he leaves.
