This may not be the best course for a team that exited the playoffs early last season. Bell is arguably the best running back in the NFL. Now he wants to be paid like it.
Bell undoubtedly deserves to be paid, but I don’t believe the money should come from the Steelers. Bell is a great player, and it’s clear why they want to resign him, but it might not be the best long term plan for the organization.
He can’t be counted on to stay on the field.
Suspensions, and injuries have plagued Bell in the past, and likely will again.
