No offense taken.  Besides, isn't that the goal of smack talk, to offend fans of opposing teams?

Is he named after the chocolate diamonds?

I can only PRAY that he stays true to his word and holds out because then he'll go into the season rusty and get injured again!

People will say "Oh, so you think he's just laying on his couch while holding out and not working out," but there's a big difference between working out on your own and running in game-type situations that he would face in practice and then also the contact he would get, especially in preseason, and also the football moves he would make, which are often made as a natural reaction and his body would need to be ready for it.

Will the Steelers break from their usual team tendencies of holding strong and not caving to player demands or will they give glass-knees what he wants?

The ship has sailed, they can't negotiate anymore in 2017 so he is stuck playing for a measly 12 million....LOL

And he'll be injured very quickly

Good stuff, like seeing a little turmoil over there in the Pitt.

Bell is obviously asking for too much money even if he is clearly a #1 RB and one of the best when healthy.

Hoping he holds out right up to the season at the very least.

Doubt he gets 15 per with his injury history. Dude doesn't sound very smart. Smoke another blunt LeVeon...

Burfict is coming...

Obviously the Steelers think Conner is a safety net for when Bell leaves. Then when Ben retires it's back to ground and pound with Conner I suppose.

Personally I wish he was in camp, but as long as h'es working out he'll be fine when the season starts.

How many reps would he get in preseason games anyway?

Offense isn't going to change that much and he improvises a lot (maybe too much) so that won't affect him much either.

Given the offer he turned down I do wonder what kind of money he thinks he'll get as a FA.
