Le'Veon Bell - goes from Steelers to the Jets

[Gunny]

NO way do I give up wearing the black and gold and a good shot on the list of best Steeler's runners in team history to go to the Jets. Even when the Jets had flashes of being good they still sucked. That's like going to play for the Clippers in the NBA.

He'll be like the rest of the pampered stars that demand to go to a new team for more money only to find out without a good coach and a gameplan centered around him he's going to suck until he gets injured and retires. Oh, this ISN'T about Tony Dorsett? My bad

I can see if he did it and got and extra 10 mil per year, but he did it and ended up with less $$ in the long run most likely! To go to a perennial 6-10 team!

Hey. The Jets won the Superbowl. When I was 8.

I can't see it. Even for more money. A RB going from a team with a running line and running game to a team without either. They either won't used him correctly, or they'll put the whole team on his back and the injury math gets him.

I'm surprised Jerry Jones didn't make him an offer

I could be wrong, but I don't think that's the issue here. Except the "small brain"

He sat out a year, unpaid, and went to a crappier team for less money. Since I don't know, my first guess would be he has/had an issue with the team.

I'm fine with the Steelers not paying him. Eric Dickerson held the entire LA Rams team hostage until he got traded. To the Colts . Frontiere caved to his demands and the Colts basically traded the whole team to get him. Neither team came away with a SB win out of the deal. But he basically started this crap. When Duane Thomas tried the same thing on the then-World Champion Cowboys, he ended up riding pine in SD and was out of the NFL within a few years.

Very few players are bigger than the game. Bell might be good, but I wouldn't elevate him to bigger than the game status.

I DO feel a little better in knowing that the Giants suck too, and traded their best player in O'dell Beckham Jr. to the crappy Browns, so now we have to face him 2x per year.

Watching the suicidal folks today in NY is hilarious!! And many of my friends on FB, same thing! LOL
