Le'V Smell says the report on him returning by Labor Day is false.

Thanks for providing the details Dan.

MT, in simple terms (as explained by Gil Brandt and Kirwan), to rescind the tag on a player will negate any FA offer from the team. The player reverts back to his status at the end of the previous league year as a URFA and is able to sign with any team he chooses. If no new long term contract is made by the mid July timeframe, the team then loses that player in the FA compensation formula. Had they rescinded the tag before the date the player is still included in the formula. This is what happened to Carolina and Norman as explained above. Norman’s agent gave a number that CAR wouldn’t even come close to, and pulled their tag well before the deadline.

The tag is a poison pill for both sides. It forces the team and player to come to a fruitful solution...a long term deal. As the tag gives no security to the player and costs the franchise a substantial cap hit, which impacts filling their roster.

Thanks for the explanation, I thought they had until cut down to rescind the tag and still get compensation
 
Can we get the Niners to panic trade us something of value for Bell?

They just lost their starting running back, this is a type of situation where I could realistically see someone sendng something of value to us
 
I’m halfway thinking Bell is thinking this way too... he comes to the table late, other RBs get hurt, high demand, they offer big money so he signs his tag and the Steelers trade him
 
Either way, I can't believe the Steelers don't have someone in contact with Bell or his agent, and know what's going to occur.

Or maybe Bell's just a dick.
 
Didn't pick up any butthurt from Harrison in that clip. He's trying to be an analyst and move on with his life's work.

Wasn't he just a guest? If he wasn't butthurt he was sure spitting bullshit. And how he acted on his way out the door, I am not one to give him the benefit of the doubt. LIke that **** about the Steelers holding Bell out to keep his numbers down? If that isn't bullshit I don't know what it is. Some wacked out theory based on butthurt or just a wild imagination.Either or Steelers don't operate that way.
 
Does the team have the day off for Labor Day?

If so, Tuesday could be telling.

Go Connor.
