3.9 YPC isn’t worth as much as Bell thinks it is.

He's never averaged below 4 other than his rookie year. 4.3 for his career. He's a very good running back who also happens to be an incredible receiver for an RB. He's damn good.

He obviously hasn't impressed his teammates very much though. The Seahawk players had nothing but positive things to say about Earl Thomas during his holdout.

This Bell situation probably won't end well.

I’m sorry 4.0 YPC.

Even Todd Gurley’s extension is the same amount annually as Bell’s franchise tag is this year. The Runningback is not as valuable today. WRs, QBs, even defensive lineman are worth more money. Bell is going to have a rude awakening when he shops the market this offseason.

Exactly

James Connor might be the most powerful player week 1. His performance may single handedly determine LeVeon's value, and thus might set next year's value at the running back position in general.

LeVeon might have made a really smart decision or a really stupid one. We will find out Sunday.

Either way it will be interesting.

That's awfully white of him

The Steelers need to be savages. If bell does indeed decide to wait until week 10, the Steelers should rescind his franchise offer at the end of week 9. That would make him negotiate a deal somewhere else which would take a couple of extra weeks and probably cost him another 1.5 million.

That will cost them a third round pick. I don't see why they'd do that.

Good point

If the Steelers are out of playoff contention, then they should give him the ball about 40 times a game to end the season

Leveon lost a lot of money today

Disagree. Pittsburgh couldn't run out the clock without him.

Anything other than roethlisberger needing to go into retirement is the wrong answer
