Timing is everything, and assuming Le'Veon Bell's four-game drug suspension isn't overturned on appeal, his timing is lousy.
The Steelers' star running back, who is headed into the final year of his rookie contract and is eligible for unrestricted free agency next year, recorded a rap song last month in which he referenced a potential $15 million-per-year salary. As great a player as Bell is, that was always unlikely. Adrian Peterson is the highest-paid NFL running back at $14 million per year, but after that it's a big drop-off to LeSean McCoy at $8.
