Hey I'm just trying to look out for the best interest of the Steelers and the player. If you let him play through this what's next? Speeding is a gateway crime

Re: NFL Off Topic

If you were running a team and needed to tank:
How would you do it?

Trade your best defensive player for two first-round picks. Trade away a fourth-year receiver for another first-round pick. Cut a defensive captain. Play young guys.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I was listening to an interview with Don Banks yesterday and they were talking about the Cowboys. Apparently in league circles Jason Garrett is known as "The Clapper" LOL! He earned that nickname as apparently he's all rah rah but does nothing in terms of X's and O's.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Multiple sources say Bell won't report by the deadline, meaning he'll be ineligible to play the rest of the year. With Conner rolling, I'll take the third round compensatory pick.

Do they get a compensatory pick if he was never technically under contract?

Re: NFL Off Topic

Presumably, the Steelers could tag him again next offseason at the same figure they did this year if he doesn't sign and play this year.

However, that's a bit unclear so who knows? Not to mention that it may not be something they'd actually do.

At this point, I'm more than done with Bell and his BS. Let him go get paid by some crap team with a ton of cap space and get his a** beat while Connor runs clean behind one of the best (THE best according to PFF) offensive lines in the league.

Whatever ends up happening, I'm happy to move forward with Connor and $14+ million to spend on the defense next offseason.

They'd have to rescind the tag, at this point I can't see them doing it.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So that whole "he has to report by XX date or he can't become a free agent" was wrong all along? I mean how could reporters get such an important and essential point to the story so wrong?

Re: NFL Off Topic

They were talking on NFL Network today that by sitting out the year, Bell essentially "skips" the second-year franchise tag. If the Steelers franchise him again, it would be under a third-year franchise tag. No way the Steelers do that with what it will cost.

They'll probably put the transition tag on him, but they won't get any compensation if he signs elsewhere and they don't match.
