doubt it. He'd forfeit 850k for every game he's sitting out, and Bell doesn't strike me as a guy who would do that. Still think he'll report at some point this week, but at this point I think they'll primarily go with James Conner in week 1. Bell was rusty as hell early last year and he's sitting out even longer this year, so it makes sense to see what they have in Conner either way. He was really good in preseason (doesn't mean a lot, I know) and they all seem to have confidence in him to be an eventual starter, so we'll see.
