I'm sure the Steelers are thinking the same. No reason to trade him for anything less than a second because they're at minimum getting a third if he walks.

Its a very late 3rd in 2020, which would be at best at best a 4th in 2019 draft.

Steelers seem to be in no rush to move Bell. They believe his replacement is already on the roster in James Conner(stud).

Maybe they will if he holds out until week 10 as some reports indicate.

Looking like a real chance he could get traded ! He hasn't shown up yet, obviously it would take probably a 3rd the least and a huge contract handed out which I don't think will happen bc of McKinnons deal this year..I'm guess a 4 yr 45 million deal will be where it starts for him..nice to imagine him in Shanahans scheme tho

Again, only offer a 3rd to the Steelers. They have no leverage right now.

Would have to offer him a contract too or we would be in the same position as the steelers, he wants and deserves to get paid just like Mack did..

I might be wrong but I don't think we can offer him a contract until after the season? Just the way the tag system works.

We can offer not to run him into the ground, which is what the Steelers apparently want to do.

You might be right about the contract, I have no idea honestly, If they were able to and obviously that's what it would take, I think that's a tough call for this organization considering the contract they just handed out to McKinnon,
