Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown made it clear he wants Le'Veon Bell in the Steel City for the long term.
"We need him. I need him," Brown said, per ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. "If we're going to do what we desire to do, we need every guy a part of the organization in a helmet to be there committed to the cause. He's a special piece. Obviously, we know what he brings to the team, his dimension playing football, but he's a special individual. I pray that we have him there."
Bell and the Steelers were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term extension before the July 17 deadline, so the Pro Bowl running back will play the 2017 season on a one-year franchise tender.
