The guy is injury prone and hasn't really done anything since he played for the steelers.
You've shit all over every thread on the subject and you've already been answered.

Yes, we know the offensive line is struggling. There are no offensive linemen available right now. WE'RE NOT SIGNING AN OFFENSIVE LINEMEN.
There isn't, and never was, anybody here thinking Bell was a magic bullet or an all-pro or anything of the sort.
He's a piece. A backup RB that could take some pressure off of CEH. A decent receiver that could help offset the loss of Watkins.
Anybody that is against this move simply doesn't understand reality. Prime Barry Sanders ain't walking through that door. Neither is Will Shields.
Great teams make incremental moves. Leveon Bell is no different than Terrell Suggs last year, a well-respected veteran with a bit of gas left in the tank. This is the kind of move a championship team makes.
Now kindly shut the fuck up. You're a drag. [Reply]
that kid is doing the whole "I wanna make a viral freak out video like all the other idtios out there...but I have to do it quietly because my my is home and she doesn't allow me to swear" [Reply]

How can anyone think signing ANY serviceable player for the vet minimum is a bad move? Let alone one with Bell's obvious upside?
We can release him at will with minimal consequences.
Even if you think he's washed up, even if you think his style is a bad fit behind our spotty OL, even if he's secretly RedDawg (!), it's not a bad move. [Reply]

Bell is polarizing to the anti-labor crowd due to his holdout. [Reply]
