Freddie's Dead Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 This is playing out perfectly for Bell. Show up week 10, get your year of service, then become a FA. No way the Steelers tag him again. BTW, if he doesn't show up, the Steelers automatically have him tagged next year at no increase to them. He will show in week 10.

If he doesn't report this year, they may also just choose to not tag him this offseason and say good riddance since both sides seem more than satisfied with a divorce.

Take the cap hit. He's screwed a bit more. But he really just screwed himself with this holdout. He's proving to the next team he'll take less money than the Steelers already tried to give him---and that he's worth less than they were going to pay him (given his age and the the status of his replacement). Just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that work for Earl Thomas? tell him to go cry to the NFLPA as they negotiated and players ratified the cba that expressly lays out how and when franchise tags and transition tags can be used. Bell is clearly a high roller taking these chances. Edited November 2, 2018 by cba fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was tagged a second time, he was allowed to take it to arbitration. Players now can be tagged 3 times. Bell will never get a contract for more than the one the Steelers offered him. Why would any team pay more for a RB (who's not Todd Gurley). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
