So how long before the rumors that we are a possible destination for Bell next year? Some article with a misleading title, making it sound like there is interest on their side, when all it comes down to is that he will get a big contract and we have a lot of cap space.

Probably next to none with Chubb (which cost a decently high pick) and Duke (recently extended) already here for years to come. Possibly even keep Hyde and have him back next year as' well...

Bell can dig for his money somewhere else.

Selfish player, who thinks his crap don't stink. He is on a perennial playoff team in a system that makes RBs stars. IMO, if he goes elsewhere, he will not be the player he has been. Also, with Haley gone his game could change. Definitely not a team first guy. I hope he sits out a long time and the Steelers grow weary and dump him. Wasn't he suspended once for weed?

I don't think that is fair at all. He is a great RB and receiver. Guys like him, Ben, and AB made Haley look good.

no doubt they are incredible (maybe the best trio in the league). Let's hope we will say the same of Baker/Gordon/Chubb one day

Thats interesting ... the best 3 in the league ... who else would be in contention ..

Brees .... Kamara ... Thomas ... no ... love Thomas but hes no AB and Kamara isn’t bell ..

Ryan ... Freeman .... Julio ... No .. not these guys ...

WOW ... they are the best and its not even close ...

They are. And what's crazy is that the Steeler OL might have been the best in football last year. They have been a top 2 or 3 OL for a few years, but Dallas and Oakland regressed a bit last year.

The Steeler offense is loaded.

And were only talking 3 here ... Juju is a pretty dang good #4 in the pecking order ...

Don’t feel like thinking but there more than likely by far the best 4 deep also ...

Damm ... never really looked at it that way ...

It was a bit mystifying that they were in so many close games last year. Seven of their last nine within 5 points. A mere 30 points takes them from 13-3 to 6-10.

But yeah, the trio is deadly... and as soon as you think you have it on lock - there's Juju!

the Steelers offensive unit is crazy good .. one of the best I've seen in the NFL

While there would be no truth to it because as has been mentioned, with the extension of Duke and the drafting of Chubb there would be no desire for Bell here, the talk will come down to teams that have the available cap space to sign him. We do qualify as one of those teams.

With the creation of the NFL Network, they sometimes seem desperate to fill air space so you can bet it will at least be mentioned.

Agreed

Lol that's great Stuff Diam..





This scares me the most...you know rookies love to jump all over us..

I hope Bell holds out. It surely would help our chances come opening day. Not even sure when we last had an opening win...

Couch?

Garcia beat Ravens in 2004

yep, that one win was glorious

I liked Jeff Garcia. He got done dirty in Cleveland. He was a pretty damn good qb.

I actually think that he is the best pro comparison for Baker. Not Manziel. Not Brees. Not R. Wilson. But, Jeff Garcia.

If he can be as good as Garcia was in his best years, it will turn out to be a pretty good pick.

Gosh... good one bro. So long ago I would've had to Google it, or stop drinking for a hour and think hard for another two hours lol.

Lol, for me it's easy to remember because it was the only one since the rebirth

Yes that does seem like an easy thing to remember and suppress deep into the subconscious.

My God, that is horrible

hats off to Lampdogg! Great job!

Reallt good question. Truly pathetic answer. Is it still OK to win the opener?

I wouldn't be surprised if Le'Veon ended up with the Browns next year, especially with Haley being there. Sad that he couldn't come to terms with the Steelers. He will definitely be there week 1 vs the Browns.

I would be extremely shocked if he did.

John Dorsey has said that he believes that RBs can be found outside the 1st round of the draft. He found Hunt in what .. the 3rd or 4th round?

I just don't see him spending $15-20 million/year on a RB.

I dont think we'd have interest in Bell .. we just drafted Chubb and signed Duke ... they will be our future 1-2 backs IMO

I started to like this post, but then realized, it's not the post I like,
it's the fact you feel this way that I like.

The best part of that story ... he went undrafted and went to the CFL and played there ... no clue if it was a game or 3 years .... then finally the Niners took a chance and signed him after Bill Walsh practically BEGGED them to do it ... and this is after Walsh contacted MULTIPLE NFL TEAMS and told them to draft Garcia cause he was going to be really really good .... he BEGGED the Niners then to draft him ...

NO ONE LISTENTED TO BILL frickin WALSH about a QB ... the man who found Kenny Anderson and had earned so much respect from Paul Brown that he drafted Anderson site unseen ... and that may have been the only pick Brown made site unseen ... he was a control freak ... the fact he even let Walsh have input was unusaul ... Brown pretty much always did everything himself ..

Then Walsh found Joe in rnd 3 and then had Young waiting in the wings ... how in the hell do u not listen to him on a qb ... if bill Walsh calls ... i gotta go see the kid and if i see nuttin the first time i keep going back til i do ... or i talk myself into the fact that Bill Walsh is the gold standard when it comes to QB’s and even if i can’t see it ... i’m Gonna go ahead and let Bill frickin Walsh over rule me on this one ...

Walsh’s connection to Garcia was from college ... Walsh may have coached him or coached against him ... knew him very well and loved him either way ..

He did get hosed here ... he was the best qb we’ve had since our return and he never was really given a chance ...

I can’t believe people already forgot about DeShone Kizer.

oh, i didn't forget him

We haven't. We're just trying to.

Don't bash my Kizer. The Kid was thrown to the wolves, he had zero chance.

...

Thanks for the laugh ...

Not bashing, Eve. Just not much chance to start with. And way too many wolves, way too soon. He may prove able later, but he paid through the nose last season.

Bro, I don't think he was trying to be funny. He was trying to get people to rip on Hue. You know, something new and different.

All the more reason to laugh my fellow dawg ... all the more reason to laugh ... not gonna indulge with folks looking to bash bash bash ... i’ll *L* at it and move on ...

I learned my lesson ... it took way way way to long ... but I FINALLY learned it .... ...

No problem.

I don't see him in a Browns uniform next year or any year. He's 27, and RB's don't have the shelf life some of the other positions do. He's also a prima donna and I believe the Browns are trying to build a team that is cohesive. He's taking a chance that he won't sustain an injury that ends his career before he gets his payday. JMHO
