so where is he going?

news is he's reporting back to the steelers week 7. which is their bye week, and also the week prior to the trade deadline in week 8.

if he is just intending on returning to the steelers, disgruntled at not receiving a contract, i'm pretty sure he couldve waited til week 11, lowering the risks he gets earl thomas'd since he'd play in fewer games.

i think since he's coming back wk 7 there is a trade in the works. he'll sign with the steelers to be traded elsewhere with the promise of a big contract after the season

THE QUESTION IS WHERE

who needs him enough to part with gurley money?

Jets

also maybe he is still a filthy steeler at heart, and tomlin called him after that disastrous outing by bumass conner like ayo. you gonna let the ravens do us like that at home?

i think game 2 is week 9 so he'd get a warmup game wk 8 and then head into bmore against the ravens

i just don't see him signing to stay with pittsburgh. its a tinderbox of buffoonery. whole teams a mess. steelers will be last in the NORTH with or without him

He has to report by I think it's Nov 11 or else he loses a bunch of money. Shannon Sharpe said if he was Leveon, he would report at Nov11, give all u got in practice so teams know you still got it, and by Sunday there's something wrong and I can't play.

word i think thats the week 11 deadline that was discussed, its the final date where he can sign the franchise tag. everyone thought that was the initial plan, hold out until he has too and just play the ones he has to for the tag to be valid or whatever

the fact he's coming back early is just gonna stoke the trade rumor fires

unless he hurt himself and he's injured right now and no one knows. so he's gonna give himself a few weeks to pass the physical sign and then be like yo i need an mri on my knee and realize he's got a minor strain or something lol, and get the 4 extra 855k checks

He's a dumb fuck shoulda took the deal, he saw odell's deal & was like i can get that money.
now he screwed himself lol.

I heard only like 17 mil of it was guaranteed tho

I'm conflicted with Leveon, because I respect his decision to protect his body for money that he has duly earned down the line, but I also think he really let his locker room down and the guys he has been with for a long time. The steelers talking bad bout him kinda softened the blow on his side of the shit tho. It probably pushed him away more.

AFC North is the most intriguing in all of the NFL right now. By week 10 it will probably be a little more defined, but rn we have some great football coming out of the northeast.

i wish i could tell my boss yo im not gonna finish the year because i want a raise now.. not in 8 months.

Steelers ain’t doing shit. Good for him

Whaddup OH, been a minute. I think the steelers can't find a trade they like despite trying, he reports, and rather than losing him next year, (cuz this is the 2nd time he was franchised) they re-sign him to the richest RB deal ever over 5 years



This of course is assuming they don't let him walk like my FUKIN RAIDERS with MACK for a bag of chips and a fuckin mickey's


Be easy bruhv

Bell is about to be traded to the bucs for a first round and 2nd round pick

damn really?

Ya I heard he got offered 5 / 70 ... but only 17 was gaurenteed, basically nothing more than the franchise tag was anyways so he said fuck you

Dont remember what the source was, but I def remember hearing that

Yea i def heard the 5/70 deal but didnt kno the guarenteed money tho.

Shit, tbh he got caught up in a damned if u do & damned if u dont situation tbh.

He prolly gettin nervous about connor playin pretty ight right now.

I don’t respect the Steelers anymore because last year y’all went thru the same thing so this year when the man is saying the same thing you should do the right thing and let him walk

Not sign him to another franchise tag that shit should not be apart of the rules. You shouldn’t be allowed to “franchise tag” a player, especially two years in a row. Takes away the players power to negotiate I guarantee you you will see a players strike within the next two years

Fuck the steelers

Man Connor playing like shit are you serious? He had one good game against seven defenders in the box

You put bell out there it’s 9 in the box damn near every play ask brown whether he’d have Connor or bell on he field with him

Fuck that fagit
He aint worth it

Geralt of Rivia > Le'veon Bell

The Butcher of Blavikon, bitches

He is def worth it.

Any where he lands, he will do well.

Dude is talented.

Why would you wait in football tho? Don’t you see people’s legs get ripped off every single week?

If you were a pro rb and they made you run head first into ppl every single play you would prolly ask for a raise too. ESP since he’s never gotten close to what he is deserved

His first few years he was on a rookie contract and they ran him into the ground. Rookie contracts are non negotiable. You have to finish them out before you sign a new one due to league rules. Then his first year he gets to negotiate they through a franchise tag on him and make him work for a fucking one year contract, the most ridiculous shit when you think about it. Football contracts are way easier to get rid vs something like a basketball contract where the nba players get every penny no matter what.

Now this is year two and same shit if you want him to be the entire offense like you he been forcing him to do, offer him more than 16 guaranteed for 7. Don’t franchise tag him, to me that’s just fucked up this is slave mentality shit trying to mentally break this young mans spirit

rb's aint worth it

its too rare that they stay healthy and top tier after 3-5 years in the league. i think he is the best back in the league. but he's already missed significant time with injury, so shelling out huge money to him when odds are he has another year or two of being worth it doesn't make sense.

todd gurley got paiddddddd. but we'll have to see if it was worth it. i just don't trust the position, espescially when there is a constant influx of young talent at the position year after year. with the rules making passing offenses so easy to run there ain't even a point to a workhorse anymore

Rb are worth it sometimes. Without gurley the rams would suck....without Zeke the cowboys would be 0-5

i agree with the cowboys being trash, but they're a shit team all around really, with the exception of their oline when everyones healthy being monstrous. zeke is a beast and definitely makes them better, but im pretty sure he's under his rookie contract till like 2020. he'll be rundown, and even if he isn't can you really justify that much money for a RB? gurley hit the jackpot honestly. its a gamble.

i'd rather gamble by drafting and playing free agency and having a committee of backs for less money than paying 1.

also the rams would be fine without gurley, they wouldn't be AS good, but if they had anyone behind him who was decent they would be fine lol. i don't even know who else they got. benny cunningham or some shit ?? get a beefy short yardage back and a little pass catching back pay em each 2 million a year and put that extra money into the o-line and defense

TJ yeldon is a hell of a talent...5 star back coming out of high school, hell of a player for bama...really good talent....but can you honestly say that you do not see the difference in the jags without fournette on the field?

Running backs mean a lot more than the league,media and organizations are willing to admit

Youre betting on what hes going to be in the future. Rb's are in their prime during their rookie contracts. There are random freaks who can play at top tier levels for a decade, but they are few and far between.

It doesn't make sense to give them crazy money when every year there is a new crop of them.

Need more athletes and less rock Pounding RBs

See: Run CMC

It’s not just rare they stay healthy, look at Barkley. RBs have maybe the easiet transition so it’s not hard to find a decent replacement you can have confidence in in the draft.

But see this is the bullshit....players like say Jordan Howard for example....he was a 4th or 5th round pick....he is making pennies in NFL terms....but is worth more....yet by the time his rookie deal is over in 4 or 5 years....the league will say oh...he us 28 he is washed and he will never be paid what he is worth.....

I think rb are very vital

Le'veon in a beast
but the Steelers knew that pay day was coming and they knew they weren't going to pay him the second they tagged him. Good for him for not putting his body/career on the line for relative pennies. RBBC is becoming the norm in the NFL because it's effective on the field and in the bank. Steelers were moving that direction with or without him. I hope he gets traded to a contender (not the fucking Eagles)

Colts. Maybe not this year. But definitely next.

have my lol, you've earned it
