going by this tweet it might mean he is ??
we will see 100 bloggers and 20 reporters take this and run with a full story how bell will be in camp and intends playing even in the preseason ....wait for it !!!
I hope he shows for camp and is ready for the season ..... seems more likely to me now than a week ago but idk

More likely he can't wait because 9-9-18 is the date of the first game he gets paid for :coffee:Quote:

Will not cost him a dime if he signs the tag and reports after the last preseason game - this from last season's dramaQuote:

In this sense, NFL teams essentially hold the trump card in holdout scenarios: if guys want paid, they have to show up eventually. ...
Since Bell did not sign his tag, he is not under contract, which means he is not subject to the fines associated with skipping camp and preseason games

I say don't offer him a contract and let him walk in 2019. Tired of his crap

More likely he just mistyped "3-14-19" or whatever the start date is for free agency next year.
I read that tweet to mean that we're not going to see him until 9-9, so be patient. I see nothing there about showing up to TC.
If you already are under contract, you can get docked a game check for missing preseason games, and also get fined daily for missing training camp.Quote:

That is how I read it. And he'll skip TC and preseason games again.Quote:

If Samuels can catch on and show he can run between the tackles, he's got some crazy potential. He already has a diverse skill set, and he's faster than Bell. I would be also happy if Conner can improve his run blocking. I love the way this kid runs hard, but when he's in, the play call is too predictable that it's a run.
see I took it as 9-9-18 ( first preseason games date) that he can not wait to play football ....
but it is Bell who the hell knows what he is thinking
You will see the Easter Bunny before you see Bell at camp.
I think 9-9-18 might be the title of his new rap song:Quote:

Yeah, yeah 9-9-18
In preseason I ain't be seen
But it's time to get paid
There's money to be made
The contract just didn't happen
But this season the fans still gonna be clappin
Beyond the walls of monies, life is defined.
I only think of money when I'm in a Steelers state of mind.
Pittsburgh didn't treat me right
The front office couldn't see the light
Suddenness, glide, fast, like a bunny
My running style is as sweet as honey
I can't take less than I'm worth
I was destined for greatness since birth
Thinking of money. Yinz, thinking of money (money).
Hawaii can rap too:jawdrop2:Quote:
