I don't buy one freaking lick of it and it quite pisses me off that you even think such thing.
5 years you've totaled 16 million dollars
But you won't play another year making 14.5 million under the tag? Get the frick out of here.

He may be referring to anal experiences in the locker room. #himtoo

He's crazy good and with his hesitation style and WR-level hands, he could play for a long time.
I don't know anything about contracts though. Just wanted to say I love watching him play and think he should be paid $1 more than the 2nd highest paid RB.

Why? It’s his life

Is it just me, or is Pittsburgh "Headcase Inc."?

I want to see what Bell would do on a team that plays in a Dome. Imagine him linking up with Andrew Luck in Indy.

I mean, RB in the NFL has a very short shelf life, what is wrong with him wanting to get a max contract? One injury on a tag and he can kiss half his salary goodbye, possibly even his career.
Makes total sense.

He's in an odd place of pay spectrum.. clearly he deserves to be the top paid running back but what he wants in both years and guareenteed money is so far removed from the next highest paid back that I can see why the steelers give pause..

He plays a position with the shortest half life of any NFL position. And he's the best player in the NFL. Why the frick would he not want to maximize his earning potential?

I recall Big Ben also talking retirement after last season but came back. I don't think his talk had anything to do with contract issues. If Ben retires after this year (which I'm guessing is unlikely), then Bell might not want to play on a franchise tag as it could hurt his value. Bell is a stud RB but probably doesn't put up quite the same numbers without Big Ben.

This is the thing with him, he's going to be 26 in 2018 and that is PRIME years. Locking him up is the smartest thing to do for both.
Why? Because he's a top 3 RB, you pay slightly above market value, you continue to improve the skills guys around Ben, and you get a happy RB...that matters.
What Pittsburgh should also do is draft a potential 3-down back in the next 2 drafts and allow Bell to reduce touches from 350-400 a year down to 300. You get an elite Bell for 5 years at a very reasonable cost still, but you also get his heir in the meantime.
There's no reason to move on from him as he's still a top 3 RB, but there's no reason to run him into the ground and only get 3 quality years out of him as opposed to 5.

Sounds like you've got a bad case of bitter bitch face.
