The thing is that no team is going to trade for him knowing that it's only a one-year deal and he won't resign because his value will be too high on the open market.
Bell's gone, Brown's pissed, and Ben has to be thinking about retirement with this shitty start and then adding on all this drama.
Are the Steelers screwed and panicking? Looks like it.
The Steelers FO botched this completely. They could have gotten at least a 2nd for Bell if they had traded him this off-season, plus had the tag money to shore up their defense. Now, they'll be lucky to get a 5th since he will be only a one year rental...if he signs the tender before week 10. The Steelers tried to strongarm Bell into one more year and it's blown up in their face.
