I agree. If Connor is giving them what they need on the ground then that is a distinct possibility.Connor is much more the style of a big bruising old-school Steeler RB than Bell is. Bell is gonna Wally Pipp himself.
From what I can tell, the Squealers 2019 cap outlook isn't that rosey either.
As good as Bell is, his attitude sucks and if they give him a long term deal it'll force them to make drastic decisions on other players as they only have ~30 or so players under contract in 2019.
From a Patriots PoV, Bell signing a long term deal is in our best interest.
