From everything I have read Bell was great in the locker room and everyone loved him. Saying he was a great teammate.

Fans seem to take this stuff personally, but players know it is for a short time and they have a right to get as much money as they can. He believes he was outplaying what they were giving him. If he was underperforming no one would have a problem cutting him I bet.

I can see both sides of it. I certainly don’t begrudge Bell trying to get all he can while he can, especially as a running back. Those guys just get beat to hell.

At the same time, if the Steelers overpay him at the expense paying other worthy guys, that hurts them long term. They have to watch out for their bottom line and try to remain competitive.
