Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 944 The changing situation
The offseason has slowly begun, and before the free market officially opens, team managers and agents are already very busy.

This year will undoubtedly be very busy, especially after the Kansas City Chiefs defended their title, and the target behind this team is a little bigger.

Everyone wants to beat the Kansas City Chiefs!
What's more, early in this year's offseason, one could smell the turbulence and impending storm, and the league seemed to be brewing something big.

After the Super Bowl, rumors have begun to spread around the league.

The last remaining member of the Seattle Seahawks' "Bombshell Army", safety Earl Thomas, was revealed to be a "locker room bomb" who had been causing trouble during the offseason last season. After head coach Carroll tolerated him for another season, he finally reached his limit and the two sides decided to part ways.

This also marks the complete disappearance of the Bombing Legion that once swept across the world.

Foles, who earned the nickname "Saint Nick" after his phenomenal performance in the 2017 season, sat on the bench in the 2018 season and cleaned up Wentz's mess again. Although his performance was not as amazing as last season, he still turned the tide and led the Philadelphia Eagles into the divisional round.

however……

The Philadelphia Eagles still place their hopes on Wentz.

Frustrated, Fowles finally gave up his fantasies, asked the team for a trade, and prepared to test the free market.

What didn't happen last offseason finally happened this offseason.

Also preparing to test the free market is Baltimore Ravens veteran quarterback Flacco. Harper has long expressed his determination to support Jackson as the main quarterback. Flacco, who once made great contributions to the team, has no choice but to turn around and seek other jobs, once again witnessing the cruelty of the professional arena.

However, the truly cruel story should be Le'Vion Bell.

A full year after the strike, the relationship between the Pittsburgh Steelers star running back and the team has been irreparable. The Pittsburgh Steelers have hung out a "sale" sign early, waiting for teams interested in Bell.

Bale is also getting ready to join the team and prove himself.

There is no doubt that Bell is the most uncertain factor in this year's free market.

On the one hand, because of Levi's rise, the market value of running backs seems to have quietly recovered, and Bell is still one of the league's top talented running backs.

On the other hand, Bale has been away from the court for a year, and his condition and ability are questionable. In addition, this is such a thorn in the flesh, causing so many troubles for the contract, even more noisy and exaggerated than Revis, who values ​​money more than his life. It is still unknown whether he will become a bomb in the locker room after signing the contract.

Judging from various public opinions, the Pittsburgh Steelers seem ready to push the locker room problems onto Bell, taking advantage of the issue and interpreting Bell's move to fight for salary as a conflict that undermines the stability of the locker room.

Now, Bell is not going to do it anymore——

Why should I take the blame?

Anyway, Bale has already fallen out with the team, so he might as well go all the way.

"The real cancer in the locker room is Roethlisberger!"

Boom, boom boom boom!
The entire alliance was shocked.

Everything happens for a reason, because Bell is not the first "victim".

In the 2018 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were under tremendous pressure. Tomlin's series of decisions were questioned. The team's wide receiver Antonio Brown stepped forward and condemned some of the team's players for being lazy in training and distracted in meetings. The atmosphere in the locker room was destroyed, but no one dared to speak out.

The spearhead was directed at quarterback Roethlisberger. Here, Roethlisberger showed an image of "loyalty and honesty". Not only did he not argue, but he also defended Brown, saying that he really needed to review and become a better leader. Now Brown was like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror.

They are not human inside or outside.

Throughout the season, Brown and Roethlisberger had several conflicts, and Brown was always on the losing side; at the end of the season, Brown and Roethlisberger had a helmet incident in the locker room. It was rumored that Brown slammed his helmet hard, but it bounced and hit Roethlisberger, which intensified the conflict.

However, the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room remained tight-lipped.

All evidence points to Brown, the arrogant wide receiver who is the source of the trouble.

Earlier this year, before the Super Bowl, Brown went further out of control and said he was ready to leave the team without consulting the team. He also issued a statement about leaving the team, which made Brown the target of public criticism.

Because the Pittsburgh Steelers are still "doing their best to save" the team's top receiver, in every way it seems that the Pittsburgh Steelers are enduring Brown's bad temper.

Until Bell made a sound.

Only then did people realize why public opinion seemed to be all other people's fault.

Blame Bell, blame Brown. Bell and Brown are like the crazy woman in the gaslight effect, becoming the culprits who destroyed the unity of the Pittsburgh Steelers locker room, while the team's quarterback Roethlisberger is completely invisible?
Now, the situation has exploded.

Amid the hustle and bustle, the Pittsburgh Steelers became the protagonists of the offseason in a bad way, standing under the spotlight in embarrassment and shame.

Obviously, the once golden triangle of the Pittsburgh Steelers has completely broken up and can never go back; but the fate of the three is still unknown, and no one knows what the 2019 season will be like.

Last offseason, quarterback was undoubtedly the focus of attention:

Rodgers' contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, Wentz and Foles' stay or go, the Kansas City Chiefs' choice between Smith and Mahomes, and the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars' plans for quarterbacks.

And so on and so forth.

This offseason, there has been less news about quarterbacks, but the comings and goings and future of other top players have already ignited the offseason.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb and linebacker Clay Matthews, New England Patriots wide receiver Amendola and defensive tackle Flowers, New Orleans Saints running back Ingram, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Bortles, and so on.

All of these players will become free agents when their contracts expire. Whether they renew their contracts or transfer, they will undoubtedly become the big fish in this year's free market and may change the league landscape next season.

however!
No one expected that on the first day of the free market, the real big shot would be someone else.

The New York Giants and Cleveland Browns completed a deal that included four players and two draft picks, which is absolutely a big deal!
Among these four players is Odell Beckham Jr.

The entire league has a dislocated jaw.

Last season, the New York Giants became a laughing stock because of the issue with quarterback Manning Jr. This season, the New York Giants even traded the team's top star, and Beckham Jr., who once represented the future of the league, went to Cleveland.

This? ? ?
Beckham Jr. was still under contract, but was traded by the New York Giants. What happened? The first big news brought a shock.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
