BlueInCanada Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Turns down a contract from the Steelers that would pay him 17+ million a year and a 15 some odd million dollar signing bonus. To then sign a contract with the Jets that pays him around 13+ million a year and only gets a 8 million dollar signing bonus AND looses a year of him in his prime to film some rap videos. This dude stupid as fuck yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 he's also the second Steelers star player in as many years who said.... fuck this team. Brown got a raise, but Bell was so disenchanted with the Steelers that, while he had a price, he was willing to take less elsewhere rather than return.

BlueInCanada Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Been a lot of talk recently that Ben "I don't take no as an answer"-burger is a horrible team mate, and just throws anyone and everything under the bus when times get tough.

I remember meeting some people who knew him and others in his circle in college, back when he was being drafted.... they talked me out him. He sounded like an utterly terrible human being.

BlueInCanada Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Gee up until now we all thought he was a great human being. When Brown and Bell were going apeshit during the season the media was on the Steelers/Bens side of things. "Oh these guys are trying to trash a great team and the leadership in that locker room is done with their bullshit" After they are gone; "Oh maybe the Steelers locker room and Big Ben arent that great of a team atmosphere as we once thought" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 He has learned to have a public persona. But to do what he did, you gotta be ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Le'Veon Bell is a fucking great player. Taking a year off will only help extend his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Bell got more guaranteed from the Jets and in reality, the guaranteed is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Bell got more guaranteed from the Jets and in reality, the guaranteed is all that matters. He would of made more guaranteed money from the Steelers contract, if he played last season he would of already pocketed as much as he's going to make the next two years with the Jets. The biggest problem I understand is the Steelers was a year by year contract, the Jets are just giving him 26 million for two years and he could easily be cut after that. From twitter; Since the numbers are in, let's compare the Steelers offer vs. the Jets deal ... Through Year 1: Steelers $19.5M, Jets $14.5M Through Year 2: Steelers $33.0M, Jets $26M Through Year 3: Steelers $45.0M, Jets $39.5M ... Not much to argue here. Pittsburgh's offer was better. https://twitter.com/AlbertBreer/status/1106212678387859456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1106212678387859456&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.behindthesteelcurtain.com%2F2019%2F3%2F15%2F18265707%2Fdisingenuous-leveon-bell-supporters-cannot-mask-the-fact-that-deal-with-jets-was-a-disaster-nfl-news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindgreed1 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Let's not forget the fact that Bell said he wouldn't play for the Jets with a 60 mil contract last year. I'm thinking the dude is a concussion risk and not that many teams were interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
