Yeah he's a vet! But there's been no mention of him. What gives?

He is 3rd string at LG currently.
Cooper and Green have both played some snaps with the 1st string OL and 2nd string.
If Cooper or Green stay healthy for the duration of TC then it will likely be one of them that starts at LG.

Broaddus said Bell was getting to far over the top of his feet (i.e. Too much forward lean).
A month or two ago they reported that Bell lost 40 pounds since last season.

The organization stated if he wanted a chance to compete for a position on this team, he needed to report at 315lbs......

Going to be interesting for sure...(big) IF Green can make it through camp healthy it's certainly not going to help Bell's chances. Kinda have to keep Looney unless someone else can play C that I'm not aware of (Cooper?).
If both Cooper and Green stay healthy and can hold their own I'd say Bell is almost certainly cut.
And then there's also Clearly who looked to be a very capable backup last year as well...

I'm keeping 9 offensive linemen on my own personal 53, so I would have Bell sticking around.

Is Cleary our swing tackle? And does Looney have any place on this team? Backup center I would guess.

Unless someone is a non pup injury going into the season I don't see that happening. Can't keep 2 inactive OL every week, maybe if 1 was a high ceiling young guy we didn't want to risk losing but Bell and Clearly are dime a dozen in my opinion.
I'd much rather keep d lineman that actually have a chance of playing and possibly making some sort of impact

Yeah, I'm keeping 10 defensive linemen too, until things sort themselves out there.
But, my thinking is that the O-line is the backbone of this team, success starts there, and I'm not doing anything to possibly jeopardize that position by going "light" there.
In fact, I have Nate Theaker and Dan Skipper pegged as OG and OT candidates for the practice squad and the future.

What's it going to be then, eh?

I would imagine no nod at LG.
Garrett was pretty clear today who the LG job comes down to.
He mentioned Looney first, interestingly enough, then Chazzy Green and then Cooper.
