The Raiders have had a single winning season since 2002, I sincerely doubt they're worried they're going to ruin their mojo.

They basically gave him the guaranteed money the first year and cut his first year salary to 900K. This helped them resign other players while kicking AB down the road where he could be cut. I think AB and his agent saw a way around the contract terms to benefit them and took it. Everyone here though the Steelers were holding all the cards but in reality they were drawing dead.

That seems to be the take of the Steeler-area sports talk guys who aren't hypnotized by the "never wrong" Rooney clan.  Art the 2nd pulls the whole "We don't guarantee money past the first year, because that's the Steeler way" and some players are getting sick of it.  The Steelers have had a lot of success putting themselves in a position to have more power over their players than most franchises do and AB, Bell, and Ben (he gets what he wants, so he doesn't want out) have called their bluff.

We all seem to get behind the dislike of Ben, so maybe it's just as simple as players getting sick of bowing down to a finger-pointer QB with SB rings that are over a decade old.  Tomlin, Ben, and Art the 2nd can't quite command the locker room like they used to, I guess.
