Bell doesn’t rejoin the Squealers

[Whatever]

He is worth it on the field but is it worth the cancerous locker room ? 

But you are right he will get that, but do not see it long term like he will want. RB's shelf lives are not always long and he has wear and tear already and injury history.  

We shall see, would be pissed if the Bengals signed him for 15 million or more long term. 

Bell isn't holding the Steelers hostage, though.  It's really the other way around.  Bell isn't under contract to the Steelers.  Technically, they aren't even his teammates right now.  Plus, they are crossing the long held line of not involving themselves in other people's money.  Does anybody really care what Maurkice "Free Hernandez" Pouncey thinks about anything?  

The Steelers locker room is cancerous, but it isn't just Bell.  There's drama every year.  Ben's not happy with the OC.  Ben's gonna retire.  So and so is mad about their contract.  So and so just got busted for pot.  So and so is out there trying  to deliberately injure us by targeting guys in the head.  I've been targeting heads since I burst out of the womb in full pads and drilled the doctor helmet to helmet and I can't change the way I play now. I need a police escort to practice because I hit three red lights yesterday.   Give that locker room any reason to whine, and they'll whine.


If he wasn't worth the drama, the Steelers would have let him go already.  Dude knows what he can get.  Since he's not under contract, he can talk with any team he wants without them having to worry about tampering.
