Hey KD, I think you're wrong on the contract issue. Bell's contract was up. He signed a 1 yr deal last year. His franchise tender. If he was still contractually obligated to the Steelers, why wasn't he fined for missing games? Losing a paycheck you would have gotten if you had signed the "contract" is not a fine. You should read Tuco's response. Also,
