A new qb wouldn't hurt him either..... On second thought, being that it is Eifert, it may infact hurt him and force him to miss another month of games.

This whole thing has taught me two things:
1: tight ends cry less than running backs
2: tight ends are idiots who wait until the last minute to have surgery.

Ah well.

Le’Veon Bell unveils contract demands in unique way

Posted by Mike Florio on July 4, 2016, 11:05 AM EDT

PITTSBURGH, PA - OCTOBER 18: Le'Veon Bell #26 of the Pittsburgh Steelers runs the ball in front of Calais Campbell #93 and Rashad Johnson #26 of the Arizona Cardinals in the 1st half of the game at Heinz Field on October 18, 2015 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

Le’Veon Bell’s knee must be fine.

That’s the only explanation for Bell’s decision to address his contractual expectations, which he previously said he wouldn’t address until “my knee’s good.”

But Bell didn’t make his requirements known in an interview or a blog post or negotiations with the team or a leak to the media or any of the other traditional avenues for making his demands known. Instead, Bell slipped his minimum into the lyrics of a rap song.

Bell debuted on Twitter a tune called Focus. The folks at FOXSports.com heard this telling line in it: “I’m at the top and if not I’m the closest, I’ma need 15 a year and they know this.”

He may need “15 a year,” but it won’t be easy for Bell to get it. He’s currently eligible for a new contract, and his rookie deal expires after the coming season. Absent a long-term deal, he’ll hit the open market or receive the franchise tag in Pittsburgh before March 2017.

For running backs, the tag carried a value of $11.789 million in 2016. Bell could perhaps parlay that into a long-term deal with enough back-end fluff to push the overall value to $15 million per year, but the front end wouldn’t reach that level.

Whatever level Bell reaches, he’ll need to be healthy and perform like he did in 2014 (when he rushed for 1,361 yards and added 854 receiving) in order to get the most money from the Steelers or someone else.

Bell wants 15M/per?  Wow, Steelers also have contracts coming up for Timmons, Jarvis Jones, DeDastro, Deangelo Williams, Marcus Wheaton, and Cody Wallace, along with a slew of lower value players.

I'm shocked because I thought players took discounts to play in Pittsburgh.  

Mind..........

[Beaker]

I hope they pay him that $15 mil/yr.

With a bunch guaranteed so it cripples their ability to sign other free agents 



Then again, like I said, I love this because of how people are always saying that players take discounts to be in Pittsburgh, so maybe this would start a domino effect when players realize it's not the greatest organization in sports.
