I side with him partially. Real conservatives honor their contracts. He f'd his team by not doing that, or better said, he didn't care if he f'd them.
After that selfish act I say good luck to any team who wants to sign him. It wouldn't be me unless it was a Belichick contract after Bell endured the humbling experience of not being wanted for his definition of fair market value.
But I wouldn't be surprised if some NFL owner dives for a 25 mill annual contract for LeVeon. The guy who shows them the formula for enduring success is Belichick and he would never do that. Never.

He doesn’t have a contract, he has nothing to honor. The franchise tag keeps him from entering the labor market.
So when a team cuts a player is that not honoring a contract? Because I don’t see too many posts around here criticizing teams for cutting players.
Bill Belichick doesn’t “honor contracts” all the time.

Yeah, and what I meant is that your entire premise of him not honoring a contract is off. He was supposed to be a free agent and then they used their little socialist loophole to restrict that. Again, he has nothing to honor.
I should just say real free market types side with L Bell. As conservatives obviously isn’t totally synonymous with free markets.

I didn’t say it was, but the franchise tag is the antithesis of free market.
Not sure why you think he didn’t honor his contract or let his teammates down. He didn’t ask to be franchise tagged.
He just wants to be compensated on the free market for his unique skill-set.
I call that the american dream dream and I don’t criticize those who seek it. I criticize those who stifle it.
Its just different perspective I guess.

LeVeon was tagged. That is an owners right as collectively bargained. The assumption is that players agree to whatever their union negotiate. I think that LeVeon should have played the season out under the tag and become a free agent after the season as virtually all tagged players do. When he didn't he screwed his team because all (both players and coaches) were expecting him to show up and play.
Apparently he will now be a free agent next season. In my opinion no one is going to offer him more than Pittsburgh did. If that's the case he just left a lot of money on the table.
That's just my opinion. I certainly could be wrong. We'll see.
Try to avoid these back and forths, Patsfan.
We could carry this to several more posts each. I'd rather not.
I am however interested in whether or not you expect Wynn's Encore to succeed in Everett.

Try to avoid conversation on an internet message board? No, I’m good. I’m gonna keep conversing.
So if you don’t take the franchise tag 2x like Bell was supposed to do then you are being selfish? This is the epitome of a collectivist mindset and subserviance to institutions. Big reason why liberalism has eroded so much of our economic freedom in society.
So you think players should automatically take the franchise tag 2x or they are being selfish? This is what you believe?

Well I hope that dastardly, self-centered, selfish Bell never plays in the NFL again because he didn’t want to be franchise tagged 2 times.
Hopefully the owners collude and teach this boy a lesson. You ain’t getting to test the labor market and you better learn to like it.
He must pay for this stunt.
