Strackbein Says: Le’Veon Bell is expendable, and just trying to leave

At first, Le’Veon Bell had every right to complain about not getting his money. The man has been arguably the best running back in football for the last two seasons, and deserves to redefine the market for his position.

Not getting a reasonable contract was a justifiable reason to voice his displeasure with the team. He earned his money, and should’ve been rewarded immediately.

Even after he turned down $12 million a year with $30 million over the first two seasons, Bell still had reasons to want more money. His franchise tag in 2018 was going to be a little less than $14.
