Steelers really ****ed up his career...tried to paint him as being selfish for not taking the $14.5 million 2nd franchise tag. Truth is, they were trying to use his prime years...run him into the ground then dump him.
It was a dick move...for sure.
Karma payed them back..they lost Bell, Brown and Big Rape blew out his arm.
He should still be a Steeler...Titans just took care of Henry, who is the same age (26) as Bell was when this shit-show started. [Reply]

Well, certainly not 2018 because he didn't play that year.
I quoted his last season with the Steelers and even the fact that he averaged 90 yards per game with the Jets, the worst team in the league by a wide margin, and all I've heard back is "We'll see".
Look, if Reid can get 90 total yards of offense from Bell and 90 totals yard from CEH, this offense will be on pace to match the 2018 offense.
This move isn't about plugging in a former superstar and expecting him to take over the offense. This move is about a complimentary back to CEH and adding a very versatile player to an offense that already features a lot of versatile players.
Now, maybe Bell absolutely blows up, which would be amazing and awesome for sure. But whatever the case may be, he's at least going to be a great 2nd option for Reid at running back, which is really all anyone can ask for at this point in the season, especially a season as weird as 2020. [Reply]
