Yeah, that guy is the biggest Steeler troll around. The thread is better with him on ignore (unless people keep quoting him )stinky bait

Maybe Twitter is paying him for the shortfall in his deal to delay the news.This really feels like he's already signed and they're holding back on telling us to get ratings. The biggest fantasy football impact free agent maybe ever, people F5ing on Twitter and every sports website around.
as of right now, today, I believe most people would say Ben > Mayfield. Could this change in the (near) future? Of course.Lol yep Big Ben has been on the decline for several years. Baker only going to get better. It isn't close imo.
We don't even know if he will get that much guaranteed money...The what if part = the risk in my post.
There was never any such thing as guaranteed 15 and guaranteed 30-40. By definition the 30-40 was only guaranteed if he sat out.
If you mean me I’m sorry and I’m not trying to be a troll, never have been, and I know he won’t sign for the veteran minimum as someone will step up. I’m just stating I’d love to see nobody interested in his baggage and it to happen. Just wishful thinking.Shark Pool is especially useless today with the trolls out.
Nah, man, I don't mean you. I just mean people that are obviously taking positions not moored in reality, taking positions against a particular team, etc.If you mean me I’m sorry and I’m not trying to be a troll, never have been, and I know he won’t sign for the veteran minimum as someone will step up.

just today?Shark Pool is especially useless today with the trolls out.
I generally get a lot out of the player threads and other threads. I do not get anything out of arguing about Le'Veon Bell all year, especially when the arguments have already been had and there's really nowhere to go with them until the contract details for his services are public. Then do the victory lap or the walk of shame.just today?
Agree! Especially with that last line. I can say I don’t know either AB or Bell personally so myself and a lot of other people can’t say what they have dealt with or maybe haven’t. It could be one side or the other, however when there are two star players sort of pulling the same stuff maybe there is something there with the organization. Nobody other than the people that are there know exactly what’s going on for real. I could be completely out of line hoping Bell gets screwed because he could be 100% right with what’s going on. It’s just the stuff we as fans here and that’s where my opinion comes from and like I stated I could be completely wrong.Nah, man, I don't mean you. I just mean people that are obviously taking positions not moored in reality, taking positions against a particular team, etc.
I'm talking about the usual suspects actually. People are having a debate that they've had for about the entire year. Let's wait a few hours and find out what's happened. Likelihood is neither side is right but the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Foles got money between Keenum and Cousins money.
Bell will get more guaranteed than the Steelers offered but less than hoped.
The Steelers weren't entirely to blame, nor were Bell and Brown.
Etc.
He will get the 30-40 guaranteed (or so I was just reading about the Jets offer).Again with the future guaranteed 30-40 million. Free agency is like, now, and this money still isn't guaranteed, let along several months ago.
Do you even know the definition of the word guarantee?He will get the 30-40 guaranteed.
The only way he could guarantee that is to be healthy like, now.
Yep.Do you even know the definition of the word guarantee?
That will be hilarious if the case.Word coming out from Bells inner circle that he is not happy with his counsel and their errors.
ooooofWord coming out from Bells inner circle that he is not happy with his counsel and their errors.
You aren't very good at this.Yep.
You are going to have to get in line behind FC42 if your strategy here relies on insults.
Why would YOU think this would be hilarious?That will be hilarious if the case.
You appear to be emotionally invested here (insults, name calling)... I am not.Why would YOU think this would be hilarious?
He nearly outperformed Big Ben without AB in 2 less games as a rookie. Now Ben doesn't have a top 5 WR and he's a year older.as of right now, today, I believe most people would say Ben > Mayfield. Could this change in the (near) future? Of course.
He did argue aggressively a few years ago he could beat Manny Pacquiao in a fight, so he’s got that going for him.You aren't very good at this.
Like giving him advice no other counsel has given their clients in 20 years for obvious reasons?Word coming out from Bells inner circle that he is not happy with his counsel and their errors.
I'm not sure a single piece of this statement is accurate. Guess you had to be there.He did argue aggressively a few years ago he could beat Manny Pacquiao in a fight, so he’s got that going for him.
One guy said it. Tell him.Browns fan here. Please stop saying Baker is better than Ben. That just isn't true right now and makes you sound silly.
I am torn at this point, really nice offer that I would expect his to take, but the longer this goes, the more people lose their mindsPat kirwan just said he's got an offer on the table from the jets for 5/85 with i think 50 guaranteed
You can’t believe that at this point. AB got 30 mil guaranteed, Trent Brown 34 mil guaranteed. If he had that contract in hand it would be done or he’s quite possibly even more dumb than I already think he is.Pat kirwan just said he's got an offer on the table from the jets for 5/85 with i think 50 guaranteed
50 guaranteed. Wonder if any caveats for his 2 strikes are present in that offer. If not he needs to jump -- if its about money.Pat kirwan just said he's got an offer on the table from the jets for 5/85 with i think 50 guaranteed
Even he signs you'll know the team but we are all going to get bad info on the contract. You'll probably hear about some huge guarantee, like the Gurley deal but when the contract really gets broke down on overthecap.com or spotrac.com you'll see, like Gurley, the whole bunch of those guarantees are not really guaranteed. It's going to be a contract designed to look better then it actually will be with guarantees for injuries and stipulations in future years that state "if he's on the roster" 3 days within the new league year type of stuff.Man the info being reported on this is just all over the place.
I actually almost believe this bc this is the idiot GM that didn’t top 3/27 for Paradis. Wouldn’t fill a gaping hole for that, but will overpay for a RB - Jets just being Jets.Pat kirwan just said he's got an offer on the table from the jets for 5/85 with i think 50 guaranteed
if true....start the countdown to the "well yeah it worked out for him......but it still wasn't a good decision" posts.....Pat kirwan just said he's got an offer on the table from the jets for 5/85 with i think 50 guaranteed
I’d rather be direct with an insult than a condescending tool.I'm not sure a single piece of this statement is accurate. Guess you had to be there.
And again.. when insults (or attempted insults) are your go to, kind of telling.
Right and was just saying something similar in my last post. Gurley contract is my best example. Was reported as $45M in guarantees but was really just $21M in true guarantees, all the rest was dependent on being on the roster and injuries. That's how Bell's contract is going to look.You can’t believe that at this point. AB got 30 mil guaranteed, Trent Brown 34 mil guaranteed. If he had that contract in hand it would be done or he’s quite possibly even more dumb than I already think he is.
And the pedal begins its slow backward motion, on queue.I actually almost believe this bc this is the idiot GM that didn’t top 3/27 for Paradis. Wouldn’t fill a gaping hole for that, but will overpay for a RB - Jets just being Jets.
Not likely, Coleman has the same agent as Bell and this would crush himWatch the Jets say screw this and sign Coleman...
don't coleman and bell have the same agent? I think no RB signs till after BellWatch the Jets say screw this and sign Coleman...
They probably want to sign their backup option if Bell doesn't like their offer. Wait too long and Coleman could sign elsewhere.
I’d rather be direct with an insult than a condescending tool.
& yes, you did
How is that fair to Coleman?Not likely, Coleman has the same agent as Bell and this would crush him
Would be an ethical conflict of interest and worthy of a lawsuit if Colemans agent didnt represent him to his fullest abilityNot likely, Coleman has the same agent as Bell and this would crush him
They're reporting it this way and I don't see how any of this is fair to Coleman, either. Your agent needs to represent you, not the rest of his clientele.How is that fair to Coleman?
Disagree I think he’s easily top 10 either place. Volume will be massiveLeveon Bell isn't going to be a top 10 fantasy RB at the end of the season next year.
Right now it looks like he'll be a Raider or Jet, and I don't think he'll get enough touchdowns or opportunities for carries from either team. Both aren't going to be winning teams, and winning teams tend to run the ball more.
Agreed but also have to assume this happens a bunch? There can’t NOT be a conflict of interest occasionally when one agent represents several players.Would be an ethical conflict of interest and worthy of a lawsuit if Colemans agent didnt represent him to his fullest ability
