What are your thoughts on Le’Veon Bell’s decision?
Ruined his own reputation.
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED loose my number 😂😂🤣🤣
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED we had a Super Bowl run with him and we have a Super Bowl run without him. He ruined his own reputation and I hope he doesn’t do nearly as good as he did in Pitts
Good for you Le’Veon
The players sign contracts and there is a players agreement with the owners. Live with it and play with it. I am tired of hearing "he wants to enter free agency 100% healthy". So if he signs a 5-year deal for $75 million with $30 million guaranteed, should he sit out the 5th season of that contract so he can assure himself of being healthy for the next contract? When everyday people have to pay today's prices to attend games or buy jerseys, it is wrong that a person can say no to $14.5 million for playing 16 football games. He loses and the fans lose from not being able to see one of the current greats play. I love the sport and I understand his logic, but I just think the business side has seeped into the fun part of the sport too much. I have no hard feelings toward LB and wish him well, but that is my $0.02.
Shannon: Skip I made 300, 000. All pro
Skip: that was like 40yrs ago. Now that's like 300 million 😂😂
“Back in prehistoric times”😭😭😭
It's nice to see players standing up for themselves. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice
VYSS Beats dude we offered him a multi year deal as the highest paid back in the league. only after he turned that down did we franchise tag him.
@@Sploshification if you know football you should know that what matters is the guaranteed money, not the ending value
@@JosselLive1 right!? people keep bringing up that bogus contract proposal. $10M guaranteed? C'mon now! Bell doing what's right for him.
CleanLikeListerine when you have an all pro RB as a backup, the dude is running behind the best line in football, and has a dynamic offense allows him which all allow him to be the player he is, plus is offered to be the highest paid player at his position; you take it. If he performed; he would have been the highest paid player. I don’t think it’s asking too much to perform to the level you’re getting paid at in order to cash out, especially at RB. This isn’t a QB.
CleanLikeListerine if he thinks he gonna be a hall of famer and be this great runningback like he said he would take the multi year deal and prove it and get paid over the years. the gurantee tells me he doesnt think he will last that long
Two words: Earl Thomas.
Chris Johnson four words: 30 year old tailback
Chris Johnson Earl Thomas never failed drug test
Earl Thomas never failed drug test
Doesn't that prove that the team's are right? So the Seahawks saved money to not sign Thomas.
Luke Jr. 26*
Ill never have a problem with a man looking after his health and money but i hope his next situation actually works out, he gets his money, he stays healthy, and have great success. Just goes to show that athletes gotta look out for themselves cuz at the end of the day the organization wont always look out for the athlete. We’ll see though
Plank Plank Then dont play a high contact sport. that simple. these guys know what theyre getting themselves into. man if i had a chance to play my fav sport for just a million dollars id do it with a passion because i love the game not the money
Mr. Josh you clearly missed my point. It is what it is though, we’ll see how this situation plays out. Hope bell gets what he wants cuz he probably compromised alot more than he thinks he did by sitting out this season. It’ll be interesting.
He's doing no more than what the owners are doing....looking out for his best interest.....
Plank it is what it is though is not a reason. It’s pure greed. The 71 million contract he got offered was insane. He had no guaranteed money so he didn’t take it. It’s greed when you want all the money for yourself and you don’t want your team to allocate money to other players and new players. James Conner is making 400k for the entire season! James is as good as any back in the league rn. We don’t need Bell😂 he thinks he’s the most important player on the field.
Plank Steelers looked out for Shazier, just saying.
All of you disagreeing with LeVeon are hypocrites.
If you were the best or top 3 in the field you work in, but not making the level of money your skill deserved, NONE of you would take a short.
How would you go home to your family saying "hey I should be making more but I'm still getting a good paycheck so I won't complain"? Stop it.
He wants QB money and no rb deserves QB money in the league now period
Rbs are a dime a dozen now look at how his backup is doing he should be happy hes richer than 99% of people already
beastmode40205 He got a offer to be the highest paid RB in the league and turned it down. Don’t act like Pitt didn’t try. Only after turning down our long term deal did we franchise him.
Idk about you but 14Mil a year sounds pretty good
Right, he wants the same money Todd Gurley is receiving or somewhere in that realm
Shannon "u see how in glowing terms they speak of james conner u look at ben im like well dang if I ain't know better swear James conner is franko harris"
Lose my number 🤣🤣
- Shannon sharp
"To get his money" It's not like he was working at Walmart. Dude was already making more than 99.9999999999% of people on this planet. If he doesn't want to play, fine. But don't turn him into some kind of martyr.
Yeah, I understand he wants to get paid but the thing is, I feel like the Steelers are trying to ration on fixing other areas. Instead of paying Leveon even more than what they offered.
If players perform, they should be played their market value. It just so happens that our society has deemed it acceptable to pay football players this type of money. That's not his fault lol If he wasn't performing, the Steelers could cut him, so why shouldn't he expect proper compensation? If you work at a job and aren't being paid your worth you ask for more money don't you?
Same could be said of the owner, GM, etc
It's about getting paid what you deserve in your industry, Doctors don't compare their salaries to Janitors, and Movie Stars don't compare their salary to Schoolteachers. Le'Veon is comparing his salary to top RB, WR, and QBs because he was the most dynamic offensive player in football and deserved to be compensated as such. Saying he should be happy because he makes more than most people is pointless, most people also don't spend every Sunday getting their bodies battered and heads bashed in.
Love DicedTomatoes do 99.999999% of people risk concussion cte torn muscles paralysis?
Le'Veon got what he wanted but just like what Uncle Sharpe said, only time will tell whether he won or not....
Turns out he lost hahahah
@@zacharygutshall8452 uhh i dont think so lol
People have really misconstrued what Bell's teammates said. They weren't calling him out for his money, they were calling him out bc he had told several of them he was going to come in and end the holdout but didn't.
That put a lot of those players in an awkward position thinking he was coming but he didn't. And they were having to deal with that while the season was starting.
None of the players called him out for trying to get his money. And I'm honestly surprised to see Shannon saying this when that wasn't what actually happened.
Cris Carter has even clarified this on his show. Nobody talked about his money. That was never the point.
Jake Norman in those interviews several times they mentioned how much money they make in comparison to the 14 he was getting they were counting his money which is something you don’t do
@@blakemasters5742 that's fair. I just dont think that was their main issue. Like how when you're upset you kind of pile on. I think they were upset about their expectations not being met. But I see now it is inaccurate to say they didn't say anything about his money.
Who cares, the situation was obviously up in the air, regardless of what he told you you have to respect that he's trying to negotiate with a billion dollar organization and circumstances can change.
@@edenfesi6517 I agree with that. But like you cant fault Bell for not having a clear idea of how he wanted to approach it, I dont think you can fault his teammates for being irked about it
You're surprised being uninformed, or misinformed, doesn't stop Shannon from talking?
I have been fascinated; trying to understand this issue and I've watched many similar discussions. I also think that the interaction and points made by both Skip and Shannon are both to point and at the cusp of the issue. However, I think Skip analysis is the most pointed and insightful that I have heard. He hits the nail right on the head. Good luck in Tampa....Le'Veon.
I wish I had a 14 million contract
You will one day
I do too
I could live my life happily for 1 million
Even if i have a 17.5 m guaranteed, i will be thankful. Le veon bell should be thankful to god that his life with that kind of offer from steelers, thankful that some other person in the world has to work the entire life for making that money, even their life or family is underline. So the keyword for bell and this condition is thankful
Dont get me wrong, bell is one of a heck good rb, but once again if you thankful or grateful to your life hapiness is come to yours
What Leveon is doing is bigger than football, hopefully the NFLPA will finally realize that the franchise tag is a joke
Exactly
They should have a 1 year contract just like they do and add 3 yrs of insurance at half of the salary if he's injured during that one season.. it would keep this away
The NFLPA needs to holdout for the next CBA. They need Guaranteed contracts.
The franchise tag is only a joke for injury prone players
Leveon was slightly selfish but he sacfriced some millions for future rbs that will be going through this.
True but they offered him 71M which is more than enough. No team will give him anything near that.
bassoonman2000 non of it was guaranteed
So they would have basically released him after the season
Gasman T right 71 million isn’t enough tho? He won’t be a better rb than his time with the Steelers.
@@vedantleva2508 It's BS to call it a 71 million dollar contract because only 17 million of it was guaranteed, the likelihood of him getting the full value of the contract is almost 0, that's what he is fighting for, he doesn't care about the total value of the contract he wants more of it guaranteed.
Gasman T 33 million was guaranteed, stop spreading lies.
Bell gets a W from me
he deserved a guaranteed contract , but i dont know how u leave 14mil . thats tough
Pittsburgh got the best out of this deal
Le'Veon Bell will prove he is the Carmelo Anthony of the NFL - money over championships
Linkz GP LMAOOOOO STEELERS WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP 😂😂😂 yeah your dumb
We haven't won a super bowl in over a decade. Did you watch all bell's game. He's way better than melo.
crewboy23 I guess that 14 million he missed out on wouldn’t have been enough
Linkz GP he can cash a check, but he can’t eat a championship!
@@crewboy23 yeah I suppose the money he would have made wouldn't of been enough for the future.
No one says Connor is a better back than Bell, but the numbers he’s putting up says a lot not only about him but about the system. I’m not saying Bell isn’t everything he seems to be, but that line is looking pretty damn nice rn and that teams playing very well.
Come to Tampa
Salivating over the thought of a Bell-Cook backfield next season for my Vikings 🤤
I'm a Steelers fan, and I absolutely respect Le'Veon's decision. The only problem I have with it is that he handled it with no respect for the team. He caused so much drama this whole time, posted cryptic messages, and was not respectful in any way. If he had simply said he would be sitting out this season, everyone could have moved on. Respectful decision, but awful execution.
Preston Pearson wore # 26 too. Damn i feel old.
If this continue I see more players doing this if they save they money right
They gotta get rid of the franchise tag and just make their off-season and way the salary cap works more like the NBA
Its not about that its about ppl lives after football ppl are dying years after football from football an they family have nothing because the nfl think its ok to use ppl up beat up they body an throw them away like trash if u not gonna pay me what i put into my job then y hire me
This tell you bell is good with his money to give up 14.5 mill
Bell is holding out for Value, because he is still ranked No.#1 among all current RBs, regardless of him deciding to sit out this 2018 season.
Wayne A. W. Gurley, Kamara, and many other backs have more value than Bell
$14.5M is a lot of money to leave on the table, no doubt about that. But, that money is literally nothing compared to what he did for the Steelers. 1200 yards and 600 receiving is worth way more than $14M, and you need to be seen by a doctor if you think otherwise. This is a lesson from all NFL owners. The franchise tag needs to be thrown away!
Gurley gets 15 guaranteed a year, so.....The franchise tag is only bad for players who are injury prone or have other issues (like bell) notice how the only players who complain are the ones that have been inconsistent......
For the first time in awhile, I can say I agree with Skip on this one!
They need to change the CBA for the running back position specifically. The teams use the wear and tear of the RB position against the player. Rookie running backs should only be able to be signed for three years and then they can be free agent or start being franchise tagged, so they are making bigger money earlier since they think their careers end earlier.
‘Lose my number’ Hilarious
That moment when there are no players left in the league who play the game of football solely for their love of the game...
#moneytalks
This is coming from a Pats Fan so I don’t really like the Steelers. However, I’d rather see Le’Veon Bell get his money than go try to play for 14.5 million tag and get hurt. I would hate for Bell, or anyone else for that matter, to try to do the honorable thing and play out the contract just to get hurt and miss the season. Earl Thomas is the best example of this. Once Earl heals, I hope that him and Le’Veon both go to other teams and get the long term deals they were seeking.
I don’t like the decision but I can understand from a business standpoint
Shannon his first talk about the juice actually changed my mind on bell
I was all against the Bell holdout in the beginning but if you can understand that not only did Bell played out his rookie contract, but during his franchise tag, he led the league in touches in rushing and receiving with no money guaranteed, just the franchise salary for that year. So entering 2018, after doing everything the Steelers wanted him to do, the guaranteed money they offered him was a slap in the face. So I get it. Another point is it’s easy for Conner to be all about the team now, but let’s wait till 4 or 5 years later, and Conner is leading in touches and still playing on rookie contract to see if he’s still about all about the team lol
The end was funny asf😂😂
Something telling me Bell already has a handshake deal with some team. I truly believe he knows who he is playing with next year and that team told him to sit and save his body. Jon Gurden said in an interview I have players I have spoke with already that want to play for the Raiders. Could one of them be Bell??? I'm just saying team collude with players all the time.
What about Brett Favre speaking on Walker's WR contract and he came back and torn his ACL
This reminds me a lot of the Kawhi vs the Spurs situation
Yall really getting mad at athletes for getting paid millions? And wanting to get paid the max? Yall understand that the job security in sports isnt that great. They NEED to get paid in their prime most definitely... and anyone who is a top 20 in their sport, that’s equivalent to being top 20 in any job youre gonna get paid a lot of money cause you worked that hard to be that great.. dont compare yourselves to these people financially
He's sitting out because he wants MORE money and long term commitment, not because he isn't getting paid now. His franchise tag alone would've made him the #1 or 2 paid RB in the league this year. I don't think sitting out has hurt his overall contract worth, but it could have had a huge effect on the guaranteed money depending on the team. Not sure i'd feel secure giving him a huge payday for sitting out a year because he felt like he should be paid more even though he's already one of the top earners for RBs.
The Steelers should've gotten a deal done before now, but it could be a blessing in disguise with Conner's emergence. Should've just traded him away this year while they had the chance.
Why get a deal done when A.) The guy has been inconsistent every year except for the last 2 and B.)You wanna make sure you have something before you give the guy a long term deal.
Ben: Good luck
Bell: New phone, who dis?
Le'veon bell should go with the colts, he matches the offense over in Indy and he has that o line that only give up 18 sacks all year and they like run the ball a lot
He wasn't worried about being the highest paid rb but it was to reset the rb market because when you have rb's that's top teir level and In bells case arguably the MVP OF ALL OF FOOTBALL the last 2 seasons making the same as or less than good(not great or the best) receivers and average qb's that type of system and market is outrageously unfair with over 50% usage rate and one of the major faces of the league and going by the numbers the most important piece of the team which brings the most attraction to the team along Antonio brown. PS it was also about the money gauranteed
Conner is the Steelers future RB as long as he can stay healthy so honestly time to move on from Bell, I wish him the best in the new team he lands in but it's time for the Steelers to move forward, focus and try to win this game by game, and they absolutely can if they keep it up.
Leveon not running behind that O-line is going to be a huge eye opener on his success. I hope he gets his money (that he deserves) but I have a lot of doubt about his production outside of the Steelers.
Hmm well your right brilliant back .One of my favorites .I would say three teams need him desperately.Dolphins Raiders and Eagles .I would love to see him on the Raiders .Truly could help in the long term. Dolphins yes another long term could help . Eagles instant success but how much they will spend? Here's my sleeper a team that really could use him the most to put the turbo on who needs him just to be on the field to make a huge impact for at least 4 more years .Green Bay Packers .I am a 49ers fan and can't afford him but that Pack pick him up that's going to be an Extreamly smart and explosive move.He would be happy there .That's my wild card God bless.
"Heres tha thang"
Look, they just have to get rid of the franchise tag or make the tag more painful for the teams that just negotiating a contact.
loooot of players on a single team in the NFL. More than the other sports. With the QB and receiving spots taking so much of the cap its not really a surprise Bell has to sit out to get what he thinks he deserves. Especially playing a position that is largely carried by the O-line and benefits from a threatening passing game. Going broke on the RB position is just not a good idea.
I dont think people understand he may be the best back in the NFL but the Steelers are a high caliber team with some of the best players like juju Antonio and ben and you also have a monster o-line.You sometimes got to take pay cuts to be on the best teams in the market.
Not like Pittsburgh needs him
Zach Stolpa time will tell
They are playing good right now I have to admit
Gasman T my comment was based more on the fact of how good james conor is playing. If conor is not in the picture its a whole different story.
I think us not needing leveon has more to do with our line rather than Conner. He’s a solid back for sure but our talent on that side of the ball makes it easy for him to do his job
If the Steelers didn’t need Bell they should’ve never tagged him for the second time.. Why hold his football rights hostage, when you don’t even need him? Smh and y’all say Bell is the selfish one.
ILest.92 he’s the best back in the league, I don’t blame us for trying to hold onto him as long as possible. I’m fine with not having to play against him right now
He said I would’ve text Ben back” lose my number 💀 💀😂😂😂
Yes, Le'veon should have gone back to Pittsburgh, potentially torn his Acl, let the Steelers drop him and lose 70 million instead of 14 and all of that to prove what? Great move by Bell
Sam Co He got a offer to be the highest paid RB in the league and turned it down. Don’t act like Pitt didn’t try. Only after turning down our long term deal did we franchise him.
@@Sploshification he's just as good as Gurley and Will get paid like him this offseason, 70 for 5 works for Bell but 30 mil guaranteed is basically 2 franchise tags and then they release him
@@Sploshification dude stop it you're on every comment I'm a Steelers damn and they did him wrong, he wants guaranteed money in case he gets injured
Sam Co we offered to make him the highest paid RB in the league and he declined.
Billy Sabillon why would you guarantee money to an injured player..? He’s a RB, not a QB.
Glad he’s standing up for himself and other players like Earl Thomas who got injured w/o a long term deal. People should be shaming the Steelers not him.
People are shaming him because the guy got offered to be the highest paid RB in football and turned it down because it wasn't enough in guarantees when you have 2 full seasons out of 5 you cant ask for $45 million+ in guarantees
Has it not crossed anyone's mind that another team or teams have already told Leveon Bell that they'll give him a contract for X amount come the end of the season.
That would explain everything.
p 28 I thought that would be considered tampering. Is it legit because he’s not actively playing with the Steelers right now? Help me out. Thanks.
@@rorydouthard3636 it's legit, because he didn't sign his franchise contract this year. He can speak to teams, but can't sign until the offseason.
@oliverthecat666 could be. I hadn't considered that.
Shannon is right, its the offensive line that matters most. Pittsburgh knows it too. Even Skip could rack up 1,000 yards behind that line. How did Adrian Peterson do in Arizona last year? 3.5 avg yards per carry. How is David Johnson doing in Arizona this year? 3.4 avg yards per carry. How do you think Le'Veon Bell would do in Arizona if he joined them next year? 3.6? Bell is a patient runner, but hes going to be waiting a looooong time for holes to open up with whatever team he joins next year because the only teams that can pay him what he wants are the ones not paying people to block.
Shannon- Ahhh!! Skip bayless i can't believe you would say that!! 😂😂
If I was Le’Veon, I would have my agent converse with the Ravens and try to score a nice deal with them and show the Steelers how much of a talent he is
Football in my opinion will always be a running game for so long the most highly skilled daredevil position is. Under paid and unappreciated. Run the ball
He'll be picked up, he's young and awesome!!! So I'm for his decision!!! And for Big Ben to say that was a slap in tha face that's Cold!!!
I hope all of that teams get together and nobody picks up Le'Veon Bell ,go play in the CFL Le'Veon
Unk say he showed up early to practice LOL
I do think the Players Association needs to stand up and force the owners to get rid of these franchise and transition tags. Other sports don't have them and it seems like there are always some players being held hostage on year-to-year deals. Let free agency work the same for everyone.
Why is it surprising his teammates didn't have his back on this money issue? They've been having his back on this for years! They are Super Bowl contender/favorite every year and one of their best players doesn't want to work. They finally had enough because unlike Le'Veon they actually care about winning! I'm all for getting what you deserve, but he over valued himself badly. He is getting what he deserves now, because if his team makes the Super Bowl, he will miss out on his chance to cherish that moment.
Steelers are not even top 3 best teams in the AFC hoss
@@cew630 you can keep lying to yourself, but it doesn't make it true.
@@alanhill2331 They aren't though! Patriots, Chiefs, and Chargers are better than them
@@cew630 coaches and qbs with playoff experience have an advantage over inexperienced teams, thus they are favorites. Chiefs are better atm, patriots no, chargers no. Brady has regressed, their defense is subpar, and receivers are lackluster. Chargers have had a very easy schedule, played the chiefs and rams and lost both games, and don't have a competent kicker.
Skip is finally on point!!No one thinks about how of a productive team L Bell played for!!!!Good luck bro it is what it is.No Ben,No AB,No offensive line let's see what happens next."Brand new whip got no keys"!!!!!
Man, if I see one more gotdamn Nationwide ad!
He did it right. It’s not like he got banged up this season. This season will have an * in his career. Just hope he stays healthy in the off season and gets as much money as he can. After this big 4-5 year contract, he’s done. He’ll play for 2-3 year contracts after that; being a veteran back.
Shannon is on point. It made no since for him to show up.
God I hope my 49ers try to sign him this offseason....It will help Jimmy big time if they do.
💯 Shae Sharp
Wow I understand Bell wanting his money, and he will cement his legacy as this era's Berry Sanders
“Your goal was to get out of this season healthy... you didn’t feel you could do that.” Not a great sale’s pitch for a long-term deal from Shannon.
I thought locker rooms were more like, "We're depending on you, Captain."
Before the start of 2017 they offered him a contract more than 50% greater than any other RB in the history of Football. The notion that they used him is simply not true.
If they didnt want him back, they wouldve used the Non-Exclusive Tag, allow him to test the market, and received 2 1st round picks for their trouble. Nope.
They offered him a more than fair deal - he turned it down. Good luck playing with the jets
that man want his money so let him go get his money even if that's with another team
Thomars Carter He got a offer to be the highest paid RB in the league and turned it down. Don’t act like Pitt didn’t try. Only after turning down our long term deal did we franchise him.
@@Sploshification true
@@Sploshification They only offered him 17M guaranteed. It's about the guaranteed money, not the overall number.
@@slaveoftmh8179 "only"
@@workout443 Yes only 17 million not enough for q multi year contract
I wish bell the best! #steelernation
I’m thinking the owners will collude to not pay him so others who are franchised will not attempt to sit out for a better deals...
Le Veon Bell did what's right for him and his family secured. All I can say is look how dedicated Isaiah Thomas was for Boston playing his contract out even while injured and the Celtics left him high and dry on their business move.. So Le Veon Bell is making a business move. If he came back and got hurt Pittsburgh would leave him high and dry.....
when he leaves pittsburg the problem is, he not going to run behind an allstar o line like pittsburg so i believe his dollar value will go down way down if conner can run behind the same line and get the yard he has watch out .but like skip says thewho else but the Jets will give him a monster contract
Bhadds 057 the colts night they need weapons the raiders could they need weapons there’s plenty of up and coming teams who need a star to pair wit they young core to make a good team
Am I the only one having trouble playing this video? I literally have watched the other two but this one will not play for some reason.
Bell: I'm 26, not as good as my backup, got maybe two seasons left in me, and I want to be paid higher than any other RB in the league.
I think the reason the Steeler player were say things about bell was because he kept saying he was going to show up and never did
Idc wat y'all say LB leaving 14 mill on the table will come back to haunt him JC is showing him how valuable you really are as a RB
Bell has performed amazingly in his time with the Steelers and earned a big contract. Steelers made the business decision to use the tag so they never had to fully commit to him.
I understand both sides but I want to bell to get his money. With that said please stay out of the NFC north lol
I'm with Le'Veon all the way. That contract he was offered had little guaranteed money and that's what matters for the position he plays. He standing up for what he feels he deserves and he should be applauded not criticized.
Teams for Bell to go to (I think)
Packers
Ravens
Jets
49ers
Without knowing anything about Bell personally, I say pay that man. He's earned his money but the NFL has given its teams the power to not pay players what they deserve at times and this time Bell bucked. I don't blame him at all. Sit out, stay in shape, play somewhere else.
I'll be surprised if they put the transition tag on him this offseason. He'll get paid in the offseason, but have fun playing for lottery teams for the next 4 years because no serious super bowl contender or perennial playoff team is going to overpay for a dude who caused so much drama on his old team and held out for an entire year. Here's your money, now enjoy playing on the Jets.
Michael lottery teams in the nfl?
@@jshaunanderson3957 I'm talking T5 draft pick teams, borrowing lottery as an easier term to describe the teams with the worst records.
Go out there and get you a bell Tampa please
Has anyone considered that he is only as good as the 0 line. They are the one to make the holes for him to run thru. We will see.
Can Shannon please use his inside voice?
When he's miked up, my eardrums get blown out!
I'm a steelers fan, completely understand Le'Veon's position, he's the best and wants to be paid like it. Steelers just can't afford paying him like that if we want our defense to get better, especially since Conner is putting up similar numbers. Hope he gets paid what he deserves.
Yeaaaaaaa skip!😂
"Lose my number " Lmfao
Honestly I would've taken the year off too who needs 14mil without insurance when you have millions already. Next to OL & DL RBs are almost guaranteed to get hit. Bell has already been injured a few times so why risk it again
No sacrifice?! No Victory
Conner is already putting up better numbers than bell and the O-line across the board says its easier to block for him.... and not to mention hes about the team and not himself...and that is seriously a sad point being missed or severely underplayed in this...
Football is a team sport. You either for the team or for yourself.
great!Sit out,relax all you want,do your thing,you have to live out your own life,hope holding out for a few more million makes a difference,i highly doubt it.
Is Le'Veon one the players John Gruden is claiming are calling him about dying to play for the Raiders?
Well it totally backfired
