I hope he and his agent are paying attention.

Nobody trusts you enough to acquire your services.

If I was a player and this happened I would fire my agent since he failed to do what he was supposed to do and I would sign the tender and work hard the rest of the season.

These two idiots can't seem to figure it out together so guess which one should be out of the equation.

HINT: It's not the guy who actually plays football.

Packers I’m telling you!

Also the Colts, Bell would be a nice compliment to Luck.

The Whiners?!

Also Maybe the Seahawks knowing a RB makes their system go?! Idk

Maybe Bell should join Kaperdick in the Collusion case.

I’m pretty sure there are quite a few teams that would love to trade for him. The issue is:

1. He’s got like a 16m cap hit. Hard to make that fit under the cap this far into the season

2. Why trade anything valuable for a guy that you could potential sign next offseason, and have no guarantee he will resign with you after this season

You can’t negotiate a deal right now so there’s no way to ensure that you’re not giving up draft picks for a rental. There’s gonna have to be some kind of handshake deal that he’s going to sign long term.

Yep. That's why nobody is biting. They're not guaranteed he re-signs. Steelers aren't going to trade him for spare change.

You guys can't ignore his drug suspension issues and injury issues..........and this holdout on top of it.

A sign and trade deal could get done if there was interest..........there doesn't seem to be a lot of that right now.

Why would bell play under the franchise tag for another team? Why would he do the Steelers a favour by signing the tag? The Steelers can't do shit until bell signs the tag. He'll come in week 10, take a couple of weeks to get into shape and see if the Steelers will play him.

The Steelers are gonna get nothing, the cocks. And they deserve nothing.

Would be perfect for the packers , I wouldn't like the move for obvious reasons, but he fits that system and would be really good .

A sign and trade is impossible. It's not allowed under NFL rules because the deadline passed.

If I’m the Jets, I send them a 4th rounder. They have the cap space and could use a weapon to take some pressure off Darnold

They could work something out..........but they don't have a trading partner.

He's not wanted.

They can't work something out. They cannot re-sign him until after the season. Nobody can. The NFL rules forbid it. That's the issue with any trade.

They could come to a non-binding agreement which could be okay, but I can only see that happening if the trade includes conditional picks.
