RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566 Posted August 8, 2017 so I have to designate my keepers, I can keep Bell as a 2nd or Evans as a 2nd rounder, I am wondering if there is any news about Bell sitting out the regular season any? I mean I know I drafted him last year, knowing he was missing 3 games, and would be fine doing the same this year, but I would like a little more certainty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smileseers 54 Posted August 8, 2017 There is no news about Bell sitting out even one game. He'll likely sign around August 27th, two weeks before the opener with Cleveland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 9, 2017 I'm more worried about the news concerning his ankle. Doesn't sound too good. Makes me think he will be playing hurt this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray_T 587 Posted August 9, 2017 I havnt been able to find a link saying he's injured, but I did find one saying he's holding out of training camp. unfortunately when I clicked the link the link was out of order so I cannot confirm this. but If you google Leveon Bell news that's the top headline.

Hes making 12 mil this year. Thats way high for an RB. No way he holds out the season. But who knows... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 11, 2017 No he's not injured but he's had the ankle injury from earlier this year nagging him. Been working with a specialist. I just don't trust him getting his contract signed and then his ankle for a full season this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted August 15, 2017 He is complaining the squeelers dis him since he wants to reno for top RB and 2nd highest WR..combined. He wont even return Rapistbergers calls to come to camp. Yeah..he hasnt had 1 healthy season..has off the field problems and feels the steelers disrespect him making him the highest paid RB at 12 mil this year. He's a turd with talent who doesnt want to show up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a turd with talent who doesnt want to show up. I would more sum him up as a top two RB in all of real football who wants more money. Although, Im not sure if I can recall any athlete in pro sports that has held out. My guess is he will play rather than go into this unknown world of contract negotiation tactics ( not to mention less time spent during training camp which many players dont do much anyway). And who did rothlisberger rape? Was that the same girl Elliot beat up or was it the girl elliot pulled her shirt down. I get so mixed up. Crazy me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted August 15, 2017 I thought I saw that the Steelers aren't even allowed to negotiate a new deal if they wanted to so his holdout is preposterous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing is, as long as he reports to camp in the last week or two, that encourages me. Hes a vet and knows the offense. Its a long year and if this shortens it a bit im even more in on it. A lot of guys have done this to get out of camp before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
