Le’Veon Bell’s teammates went out like some suckers by siding with management over him.
Furthermore, they made several comments about his money and being jealous of the money he is making. Breaking a code that we are all taught at a young age.
“Don’t count other people’s money”
“He f—ed us,” one veteran told ESPN as he walked out of the locker room on Wednesday.
“If you don’t want to be here, it is what it is. Hold out 10 weeks,” center Maurkice Pouncey said.
“I just felt confident that he was gonna come,” Pouncey said Wednesday, “But now that he didn’t, obviously it’s Le’Veon over the Steelers, and we’re the Steelers and we’re going to play as the Steelers. … Now when it’s game time and you that you have $14 million looming out there, and you’re still not here and your team really wants you here? At this point, we got [James] Conner.”
“In the ultimate team sport, we’ve created a league of individuals,” guard Ramon Foster said.
More Ramon Foster on Bell: “He’s making 7 times what I make twice as much as Al (Villanueva) is making and we’re the guys who do it for him.”
