ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell’s first response to the passing of the deadline for him to sign a multi-year deal with the Steelers before the end of the 2017 season was to say “I guess I just gotta get better” on social media. He expanded on his thoughts about the failure to agree on a deal a bit later, but not into the specifics of any offers that he received from the Steelers in recent weeks and months. It was enough to say that whatever was on the table wasn’t particularly compelling for a player who feels like his entire position is undervalued around the league. “It’s a little frustrating, but it’s a business,” Bell said, via ESPN.com. “I’m not in a rush to sign for something I’m not valued at if I feel I’m worth more than what they are offering me. … The running back market definitely took a hit, and I can’t be the guy who continues to let it take a hit. We do everything: We block, we run, we catch the ball. Our value isn’t where it needs to be. I’m taking it upon myself to open up some eyes and show the position is more valuable.” Bell said he “definitely” doesn’t want to play for anyone else and referenced his initial comment by saying he plans to have his best year before heading back to the negotiating table with the team. He did not share his plans for signing the tender and reporting to work with the Steelers, but said “all it’s going to take for me is a few practices and some game action” to be at full speed because of the way he trains during the offseason. Guy wants to get paid like a big boy but can't play one full season... between suspensions/injuries and then not playing in key playoff games... he really kind fucks the Steelers Edited July 18, 2017 by DonnyTrump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omerta+ 1,206 Posted July 18, 2017 I hope they pay him. That much money in the backfield for a 2 guys that are often injured would be nice for the Ravens. The thing is though is that when they are healthy that offense is better than anyones in the league provided Bryant can ever not be a dumbass. If they do tie that much up in him though it is going to be hard to get players elsewhere which would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack_of_Steel+ 3,014 Posted July 18, 2017 Bell won us a playoff game. He can't help freak/dirty injuries. His first major injury was basically a horsecollar tackle by Burfict. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted July 18, 2017 Yeah Bell is one hell of a talent, but he's a serious liability when it comes to the weed shit. You don't want to see him Josh Gordon himself out of the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted August 27, 2017 He likes his weed, and he likes to get injured. Don't matter how good he is, can't pay him top dollar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
