He just got greedy and over-estimated his market value...and underestimated his OL.

I believe the Steelers will be BETTER this year b/c, as Tomlin said, a team does better with "volunteers not hostages."

Conner had more long runs than Bell, b/c when a hole opened, he hit it (instead of dancing around). He's not as good as a receiver, but that's why the team has WRs and Jaylen Samuels, who got 170 yards against the Patriots.

I'm all for the Patriot model---not diva-driven.
