https://twitter.com/AB84/status/1041710739642376193 Between this, Bell, the O-Line's comments about Bell, and the 0-1-1 record, Tomlin needs to get his house in order. |

Antonio Brown is criminally underpaid, 7.9 million. Yeesh. |

They miss Shazier badly. Jon Bostic doesn't quite get the job done, surprisingly enough. |

It’s why Bell has zero leverage . They ain’t losing because he ain’t there . They’re losing because their defense sucks . |

Conner's a nice story and seems like a solid player, but they are definitely a worse team without Bell and have missed his impact in the first two games, especially yesterday. If you have to win shootouts you want Bell on your team. |

James Conner has filled in and done just fine. Bell is just like Forte a few years ago, just because you catch 60-70 passes a year as a runnign back, it doesn't make you special nor entitled to more $$$. It's a symptom of a shitty problem on offense, that's all. |

It's about avoiding Bell getting 400 carries this year going into free agency which often hurts your production the year after. |

Amazing how teams run by 2nd/3rd generation family owners are all running into this problem. It's hell when all those shiftless mouths have to be fed. |

This is just the natural end that comes for every team who had a run like the Steelers did. Eventually the pressure to keep guys paid despite their age and imminent production fall-off snowballs into untenable situations that start breaking up the locker room. AB isn't a spring chicken anymore, and while he's definitely still got it there will come a day when he doesn't. That day could be really soon. I wonder if they'll blow it up and actually trade Bell and AB. I guess it depends a lot on what they think of Rudolph. |

The Bears had the cash. Well when you paid nothing for your ownership interest, little for the horrific stadium AND get gifted a $240MM check each year, plus all the local endorsement/media largesse, I would hope so. Which shows just how big of an idiot Mark Davis is. The Saints will be in the same boat in three years (I predict) |

These mults don't respond to the poster they're trying to impersonate, dumbass. Delete this mult. He burned his chance. |

I dont think Steelers ownership has as much do with this as the salary cap and injuries taking an inevitable toll on the defense while all their best offensive players got old and expensive all at once. |

There is an argument to made for selling everyone except for JuJu and Connors and starting fresh. |
