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.
The Steelers are stuck, big time. They know they are going to have to either cut Bell or trade him. The problem is they have to sign him to trade him and if they cut him they won't receive a comp pick. Bell won't do them any favors by agreeing to any trade. If they lose Monday night they should just cut their losses and just release him. Bell would then have to prove himself to other teams to get a great contract next year.
