Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
It was pretty recent. I almost wonder if his initial pondering of retirement was a ploy to get Haley fired. I had seen a lot of rumours indicating they didn't get along over the last couple years. Ben said nothing about continuing to play until just the other day, which likely would've been after the decision was made to let Haley move on.

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
Le'Veon Bell tells ESPN the player and Steelers are not coming to "a number we both agree on," wants a deal strictly based on his value to his team. Stresses not bluffing on retirement.

He sounds like he's willing to be a martyr for the RB cause. I dont know if I'd completely write off his retirement talk as posturing.

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
There’s a reason why teams love franchise tags and it’s not bc players are getting the better end of the deal. Cousins is the most outlier situation ever. It hurts my brain when people think like this.dynastyninja wrote: ↑Fri Jan 12, 2018 11:13 am In most cases, if I'm an NFL player I'd love to be franchise tagged. I get a fat paycheck and then can do whatever I want the next year. I understand you're taking on more long-term risk that way, but the salaries that come with that tag are awesome. Kirk Cousins getting the tag multiple times was the best thing that could've happened to him financially. It's like a small signing bonus, and then when you finally hit free agency you get a big signing bonus.

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
He's not retiring and walking away from that money. Nonsense.
He's trying to reset the rb pay scale.

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
I really hope the Steelers give him what he wants. Trying to trade him for 1.01 straight up cuz of his past workload. All this talk is hurting my chances for sure, although that could change immediately if he is re-signed. I gave a pretty nice haul to acquire him last offseason but I did win it all, so I can’t be too upset.
Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
I still think its extremely slim that he does it, somewhere between 2 and 5% chance, but if anyone is crazy enough to actually follow through on it its Bellkamihamster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 4:42 pm He sounds like he's willing to be a martyr for the RB cause.

It's like you said. He doesn't just want the money for his own pocket. He wants the money to recognize that RBs do so, so much more than they used to and after a 4-5 year rookie contract don't have near as long as a WR to make the big bucks they deserve

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
Didn't he threaten this last year or something ?
Dude is going to sign his tag. No moron retires and walks away from 15 million

Re: LeVeon Bell considering retiring
Calvin Johnson retired w/ a lot more than $15m remaining on his contract
IMO, Bell should have held out last year as long as possible and gotten the min amount of games played to accrue a season. They rode him HARD last year. Based on his usage, I thought for sure it was a 'use em and abuse em' situation and they'd let him hit FA like the Cowboys did w/ Murray a few years back.
